Thank you for the report with good news.

There a few more things you can try to get 8 a little better. Try aiming your antenna a little more toward 8, like about 155 degrees magnetic.

Another thing to try is to add some attenuation; there might still be some overload problems from signals that are too strong. You can add a splitter or two (a 2-way splitter gives 3.5 dB attenuation) in the coax or you can buy a variable attenuator:

Forum member tekeeladude had very good results using an attenuator:
