I did a second profile with the signal path from WGAL extended a little beyond your mom's location.

The problem I'm having is that, while she picked up an extra 13 channels, both 8.1 and 8.2 are now heavily pixelated and are her worse channels. I could pick up real channel 8 no matter which way I pointed a single antenna. the problem happened when I combined the two. I'm thinking that the channel 8 signal is so strong that it's still getting through the pre-amp on the Uhf side.
I also suspected overload until I did your FM report and saw another hill beyond your mom's location.

Here is the TVFool report, but I'm not sure about the accuracy of it
I am willing to do another more accurate profile to confirm my theory, if you can send me her coordinates in a PM for privacy. You can see the coordinates change below the tvfool interactive map browser as you drag and drop the cursor to her antenna location. The interactive map browser is here:

I see a lot of trees in her area; are there any in the signal path?
