Configuration of antennas , cables, and channels

Step 1

First we assembled the antenna so that channel one was connected to cable one which was connected to antenna 0ne, channel three was connected to cable cable which was connected to antenna three. The result was that channel three had low signal.

Step 2

Second we connected channel one to cable one to antenna three, and channel three to cable three to antenna one. The result was channel one had low signal.

Step 3

Third we connected channel one with cable one with antenna one, and channel three with cable three to antenna three. The result was that channel three had low signal again. In this step we switched the legs of the antenna so that they were in the right configuration. one pointing up river and three pointing down river.

This test concluded that the antenna three was the only component to have a low signal in all trials therefore antenna three is at fault for low signal not the cable or the channels.
