Just purchased this antenna and wanted to verify if the overall lenth of 50" is correct? & shipping weight of 0.3 ounces seems kind of light?

The antenna is less then 39 inches long and ROUND. The size shown of 50 x 5 x 5 is a suggested shipping box size. The antenna is 2 lbs shipped in a 39 inch box.. Please request to cancel the order if this info is a problem. Thank you

No problem at all, You guys have great products! Just wanted to verify size. Please ship. Thanks Mark

Sorry, I tossed mine a while back because the antenna they painted on was of poor design. Guess the people who designed it did not check wave lengths or SWR. They may have corrected that since I bought mine. Complain to the seller, they may just give you another one.

Im not sure I understand the question but if you are asking about antenna feed its good to go. Just hook it up and look for your stations,

I couldn't say exactly, but the antenna that comes with the booster has a 50' cord and seems to work well.

I'm having better luck with this one than several others I have tried. However it is affected by weather conditions (wind, rain) and reception varies in different rooms. I imagine this is true of any antenna. I am satisfied with it.

Sorry, I didn't keep the packaging, but this is probably avail on their website. For what it's worth, I'm ~50 miles from the transmitters, my antenna is in my second floor attic, and it works great. Not perfect - occasionally I get what presents itself like packet loss, but it's pretty rare. I'm glad I dumped cable. My .02. Good luck.

My 1" aluminum mast and antenna around the 4lbs you plan to use. This is my second 'rotator' (same set-up) and had the other one for over 10 years. But as you know things do change. This one has been up may-be a year or so with no problems. Bruce

Yes - Just measured it and that is correct. Just realized that it's pretty bendable / breakable (as most Antenna like this are) when fully extended.

richard is right, wavelength is key, if the antenna happens to be mathematically close to to the correct wavelength you're trying to pick up, you may be in luck...the only way to know is to try it out.

It is small but works great. A good antenna is the secert. Not big money but quality. Mine is been in our Geo Tracker and we off-road all the time

I had the same experience when mine arrived. What was left of the box was held together by tape that appeared to have been applied during shipping. The only thing in the box was the three sections of antenna, no hardware, components, or directions. I know this doesn't answer your question but a $15 dollar trip to home depot and radio shack proved cheaper to me than trying to repackage and return it considering the shape the box was in.

thank you for your response- I found a discussion on yahoo yesterday that explained the antenna pretty well- basically that the so called "HD antenna the retailers are selling is hype and not really needed .

I am not sure there was any information in the packaging concerning this, and I don't have the packaging anymore. Take a look at the specs on the site and see if it has any information. I will say that I am a "dead zone" and it works pretty well. Although I do still some signal loss intermittently. I also raised the antenna very high, which seems to help. Honestly, for a little more, you can get a better antenna, but it will look "ugly" above the house.

The shipping weight when I was tracking it was 52 pounds, so therefore 50 lbs would be correct as the packaging does not weigh much.

Not sure what you mean, so will answer the best I know. The cord on this is very short. About 4 ft. long. The antenna picks up (mostly all) the TV stations very well, though I don't know where the stations are located. I'm sure they are many, many miles away.

OK, near a window? In the city? Let me suggest this: In the center pin of your coax plug, unbend a paperclip, carefully insert it into that coax in on your tv and connect a long wire or :conductive" material to it (foil). If you rescan with that in and STILL get nothing, unlikely but may happen, it's your location. If it picks up anything, the antenna's a dud. If it works, gauge what you can get from a homebrew antenna and go up from there. This may not be strong enough to hit your local channels. I know of a 50 mile radius antenna at $60; before you throw in the towel, try the paperclip trick. THe HomeWorx is inexpensive; returns are "meh." Good luck!

Just looking at the gain figures, the 4221HD should pull in a little more from 50 miles. But I am not the ultimate expert. I suggest you go to tvfool dot com, put in your exact address and antenna height, and share the link that appears toward top of report with the people at dtvusaforum dot com. They will make specific recommendations based on your exact circumstances. Top antenna professionals donating their time, so be polite. Antenna will probably have to be outdoors at 50 miles. My case was an exception.
