Ok, I was away over the weekend and didn't want to announce that on the internet. Just got done eliminating the pre-amp with cable connectors. I now have CBS (KDKA) and ABC (WTAE) back in addition to WQED. So the amp is fried. What I had was a Winegard 8700 mast mounted that is now discontinued. Spec are 17db VHF and 19db UHF with 2.8 noise on both. I don't remember the exact antenna but it looks like a Winegard HD 7698. I believe it is aimed approximately 350deg.
With the amp I had, NBC 11 and Fox 53 were not always reliable on the set furthest away. So I'm inclined to go with a little more amplification on the replacement.
