    OTA HD - I'm stumped!!

    Hi Just want to update on my situation. My conclusion after different experiments is that my situation is definitely more of a multi-path than signal strength. Some data points: + I added a 5' mast to the existing one (which now makes it 10'). The signal didn't get weaker but I wasn't able...

    OTA HD - I'm stumped!!

    Tower Guy, Just to make sure I understand ... You are saying in the vertical plane (taking a side view of the antenna), rotate it +12 degrees? If the pre-amp were overloading signal, why is it that none of the channels drop out? That's what I would have expected...

The signal strength is about the same, maybe a bit weaker but the main drawback was I couldn't get...

    OTA HD - I'm stumped!!

    one more thing - the preamp is mounted on the mast itself so it's less than 2' from where the antenna picks off the signal. The power supply for the amp is farther away, inside closer to where the receiver is

    OTA HD - I'm stumped!!

    Hi I have a situation that has me totally stumped. I'm hoping for some expert advice. I'm afraid that at this point, any further action I take is just "shot gunning" it and will eventually make things worst (or my sanity will go and not necessarily in that order). Here's some...
