I'm with GUM on this one.

The CM4228HD is the wrong antenna for this situation and I hope for the best.

A very likely reason for the gentleman in Willis having reception issues was due to the CM4228 not being an ideal high-VHF antenna. His results spoke what we are telling you here.

If you are dissatisfied with your final results, please don't attack the antenna. This is a case of you are trying to put your right shoe on your left foot. Good antenna system building includes a survey of the TV broadcast bands in you reception area and buying an antenna that supports the bands you'll need (low-vhf, high-vhf, uhf). Going with a single band antenna (UHF) for example is only advised in UHF only markets, which you aren't in.

Chances of unreliable reception are higher than of reliable reception in regards to these signals simply due to you are choosing asthetics over proper antenna system selection.

A roof mounted C2V orientated to magnetic 169 ought to rock and roll.

Best of luck to you.
