Question

KBEX: An RCA TVPRAMP1R preamp. I followed Stephanie's post to the letter.

Where are you? I think Canadianeh has a point, an odd situation similar to the days
when Connecticut AM stations could pick up Ohio or further west during storms.

Now, we've had this setup for three months and it's been pretty good. I like to let
things sit and see how they work before tinkering. Now I'm considering an amp to
improve signal pull as some of our stations are still weak: WZME has been tried in
different positions and as the pros here have argued, TV signals like to move around
a bit. So some nights are good and some nights not so much. Last night, Svengoolie
came in at 30% strength and less. Again, our problem is that we're in a fringe
location situation exacerbated by being between two ridges with lots of trees. WFSB
and two others come in at 80 - 85%, so I need to tweak the signals of the weaker
stations without overpowering the stronger.

What to do? Thanks!
