Yup, those Maggies are average at best. Out here a number of channels that a Zenith can get rock solid with just a mediocre indoor UHF loop the Maggies will struggle to get with a better bowite antenna, or outright not tune with the mediocre loop.

Where Bob's at if he had Zenith boxes he could probably dispense with the antenna system altogether, and get the same reception with a few inches of phone outlet hook up wire plugged into the center of the boxes antenna jacks...
