 I USE 2 CANS AND HAVE A P-5+ ON THE OUTPUT OF OUR 1.2Ghz REPETER 12 MILES
 AWAY. MY FIRST ANTENNA USED ONLY ONE CAN AND I STILL HAD A P-5 PICTURE BUT
 I WAS GETTING A SHADOW CAUSED FROM A SECOND RECEVE SIGNAL BEING BOUNCED
 OFF SOMETHING AND ENTERING THE WAVEGUIDE. THE SECOND CAN ELIMINATED THIS.
 MY ANTENNA IS MOUNTED INSIDE MY SHACK AND POINTED OUT THE WINDOW AT THE
 REPETER SITE. I HAVE 1 FOOT OF RG-9913 COAX CONNECTED BETWEEN THE ANTENNA
 AND MY PC-ELECTRONICS TVD-12 DOWNCONVERTER.
