Here are my antenna pics. I've been working on my shack pics as the issues are complex and a little tedious. They're coming soon.

Trivec-Avant AV2040-2 Antenna

I use this antenna for listening to satellites and sometimes UHF LOS. I also have a slighlty different model, the AV2040-3 that has different directing elements. These are often found on auction sites for a couple hundred dollars in great condition.

Just be sure that the radiating elements do not fly off and break the circuit board as you open them. This is a common breaking point as they age and are left outside. Also, just like a well used HK MP5, they tend to turn purple as the aluminum anodizing wears.

Here I was using an older Icom IC-T7H dual band handheld, hard to see near one of the legs as the antenna dwarfs the radio, to listen to some un-encrypted voice traffic over UFO satellites. (Rare for it to be un-encrypted, but I knew who was making the transmission and exactly when it would happen.) This is usually not the case.

Here are a couple pictures of my rooftop antennas. Pictures aren't that great. Next time im up on the room I will get some better photos.The taller vertical is a homebrew 2 meter collinear inside of PVC. The shorter vertical is a Diamond X50. The yagi is a homemade 3 element tuned to the railroad band and is the primary receiving antenna for my online feed.

This is a pic of my attic antenna that I just installed using some extra Directv elbow arm. Had to keep it in the attic due to HOA issues. Its a Diamond D130J. Not alot of gain but have the bandwidth.

Not too shabby. HOA's suck and you did a good job to get something up that's useable.

Very nice on how you have the coax lines entering the house. Professional and keeps those unwanted pests out.

My little tower I made for the roof of my work today, ST-2 on a 3' satellite tripod with a 10' stick of 1.25" conduit.

I decided to do something different this time, plus I'm in a rental right now, so I have dish elbow style mounts on the eve. First antenna (far left) id an old MonR B-52 or something like that, that's on a Tram base ground plane mount, which monitors the VHF and UHF activity in the area. The second antenna (middle) is a Comet GP-3 dual band ham antenna. The third (far right) is a Maxrad 800MHz antenna, also on a Tram base ground plane mount, which I use for the countywide 800MHz system. Nothing fancy like a lot of you guys have, but it works for me!
