Hi GroundUrMast, thanks for your help.

I got the antenna up on tripod, at the peak of the east end of house (~3ft from end), where there is the gable. The west end of the house also has a gable, and that is where the electric service is, in addition to where all the coax cables from the house all lead to.

There is about a 12"-18" overhang at both gables (east and west).

The roof is asphalt shingles, and the exterior walls have siding.

I installed the Winegard HD7697P directional.

As of now I have the coax temporarily running near the peak of the roof to the west side of house and connected to the cable coming into the house. I'm hitting 30 channels and very happy, but I need to finish this install.

I have dumped satellite TV today!!
------------------------------------------------------------
Today, on the east end where the antenna is mounted, I attempted to feed the coax thru a hole I drilled in the soffit. Then, in the attic I drilled thru the end rafter and never hit air space after 6" of drilling. I hoped I was going to drill into the space in the eave, and be able to feed the coax from outside into the attic.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks a million --gopokes
