REV. F Tower Grounding kits are based on 8 foot ground rod use, REV. G Tower Grounding Kits use 10 foot ground rods (that can only be shipped LTL Freight). REV. F Tower Grounding Kits use #4 Solid or Stranded Copper (use a regular 5/8 inch ground rod clamp), whereas REV. G Tower Grounding Kits rely on 7/16 inch Galvanized Steel Wire Rope (select the 3/4 inch ground rod clamp we sell here).
Pre-Amplifiers are mistakenly used with the rational that it will bring in Stations that weren´t there before... It won´t, and what´s worse, using the same antenna and pre-amp with FM and TV stations close by (0-30 miles) may overdrive the amp and actually impede your ability to provide goods signals to your TVs. If you desire to use a pre-amplifier, don´t use a high gain when you have local stations, get one with a FM trap to keep FM radio stations from over-driving the amp and remember that today´s Digital Signals don´t need to be high to get a picture. Some Pre-amps come Band Selective as well, realizing that the difference in antenna UHF/VHF gain means that one band needs to be amplified as opposed to the other. Use them to maintain Signal level to noise at the origin (your antenna) so that low signal levels from far away stations are not lost in a longer than average cable run to the location in the house where the signals would be further distributed to the TVs desired.
