Just purchased a Panny 50"Commerical, HDMI blade, Humax FA100 tuner, Panny SA-XR55 tuner/receiver, Sony DVP-NS70H DVD player and an HDMI switch with HDMI cables for all the periphery.. At the current time I am waiting for Toslnk digital optical cables for the audio and am playing all off of compnent cables..

But to my problem as to not get off subject of the thread. :)

I have a Channel Master 3016 in the attic pointed at approximatley 211° in order to pick up digital signals from:

yellow - uhf WQAD-DT 8.1 ABC MOLINE IL 211° 17.6 38
yellow - uhf KWQC-DT 6.1 NBC DAVENPORT IA 211° 17.6 56
yellow - uhf KLJB-DT 18.1 FOX DAVENPORT IA 211° 17.6 49
green - uhf WQPT-DT 24.1 PBS MOLINE IL 213° 16.8 23

Without problem I have accomplished the above with 90% to 100% signal strength but this one below eludes me at this point..

yellow - uhf WHBF-DT 4.1 CBS Bettendorf IA 274° 14.3 58

I would like to install another antenna to pickup WHBF alone and combine it into the same coax as the CM 3016, so what can I do?? Can I used a stacked bowtie UHF or do I have to match the 3016s' gain with another 3016???

Thanks in advance folks as I am looking forward to your educated and concise answers..

The direction difference suggests a seperate UHF only antenna and a jointenna tuned to channel 58. These parts are available in Moline at:
http://www.warrenelectronics.com/ They can also offer more specific advice for you.
 
Thanks for the reply Tower Guy and it looks like there might be a trip to Warren Electronics today.. I believe they are still up on Avenue of the Cities (23rd Ave to us die hards :) ) but I will take a look see online to make sure..

I also will take all the info from Antennaweb with me.. ;)

Onward and upward!!! :up
