new antenna

A couple of the elements broke off otherwise it's ok - losing signal strength on some channels - and yes, still pointed at the pin oak.

OK. So if I test with the clips and one part of the antenna is bad, then I guess I need a new antenna?

replace terminal board

for $15 I will just replace the CB-8269 and take it from there, instead of trying to take it apart and troubleshoot it.
thanks!
