My antenna is the RCA ANT751 Durable Compact Antenna

The above 2 pictures are my setup. I know it's upside down but it allows me to have a full 360 range in my attic. From the antenna there is about 40ft of RG6 to get to the basement where it meets a splitter from there 1 50' run of RG6 to my living room. 1 run of what I guess is RG59 to the Master Bedroom it is in the walls already. I can't imagine it's longer than 50'.

The above picture is taken from below. Which end should I be pointing? The "A" or "B" end?

I have 2 tried random positions so far and I get the channels I need. But I would like to get the most I can. The first position I attempted was the "A" end pointing SW. 16 Channels. The next was turning it 180 degrees. After that 27 Channels. Is there a better way of doing this? Thank you.

The 'A' end is the end to point towards the stations you want to receive. Use a magnetic compass (or a compass app on your smartphone) to point towards the magnetic azimuth shown on your TV Fool report for the stations you want to receive.

Condense your list down to eliminate all the -2, -3, etc sub-channels since they are part of the same station as their parent channel (-1).

Reduces the clutter for analysis.

Point the small ("A") end towards Farmington and test.
