Don..i just purchased a squareshooter..non-amplified...couldnt find a indoor one good enough to pull in a constant signal..and most outdoor are just way to ugly..i assume that under the plastic cover it looks like some sort of bowtie..since im only 5 miles direct line of sight to my local towers with few buildings or trees in the way i hope to leave it as is and still get good reception..my question is how directional is it?..2 other towers are at a right angle to the main ones and 25 mles away..do you have any issues like this and is yours amplified? Thanks..Rich G
