I’ve done a bit of experimenting while there are several feet of snow. I’ve been using the db4e and various combinations of amp or no amp. So far my reception is on par with the leaf but still can’t get Fox or CBS.

I’ve got a clear view of the southern sky. I’m using the mast the old direct tv antenna was mounted on and the previous owners were able to use it so I know it has a good look to the south. It’s mounted up the hill a bit so I’d think the antenna is 15-20 feet off of lake level.

Next step is to use the shorter mast the direct tv antenna was mounted on as a sleeve for an additional 10 feet of galvanized pipe until it warms up and I can devise a more permanent solution. See if the extra 10 feet of elevation helps.

Any other thoughts?
