The Winegard PR-9032

This is a top performing UHF Yagi/Corner-reflector antenna.

High gain antennas like this one are big, hard to aim, and hard to keep up in bad weather. The author does not normally recommend this antenna inside 25 miles. But there are two exceptions to this:

1. A very high gain antenna might be necessary behind a hill or in a valley.
2. When an obstruction is causing multi-path, a very directional antenna such as this one can reject signal from the wrong directions.
