What is Lo VHF?

The Low-VHF band covers channels 2-6 and the High-VHF band covers channels 7-13. Because these signal wavelengths are longer than UHF signals, they can more easily bend over and around certain obstructions in the terrain between the TV broadcast tower and the receiving TV antenna.

What frequency is low VHF?

49-108 MHz
In the United States, the frequencies used for these systems may be grouped into four general bands or ranges: low-band VHF (49-108 MHz), high-band VHF (169-216 MHz), low-band UHF (450-806 MHz), and high-band UHF (900-952 MHz).

3. Increase power.

How long should a VHF TV antenna be?
