Red face antenna is up

i want to thank all y'all for the excellent advice - the antenna is up and i'm getting 70-100% signal on all channels except fox hd from new york - the sd comes in fine - then again i knew it would be weak from the tv fool report - i'll have to work on that channel.

i'm a little worried about the antenna in the wind tonight - we got 20-30mph winds and the antenna is wobbling a bit - doesn't seem like i drop the signal when this happens, just wondering if this is normal.

the eave mount is sturdy - but i'm thinking i didn't tighten the mast mounts on the antenna enough - i'll climb up tomorrow.

it's an eave mount w/ 5 ft. mast - maybe it's just cause this is a big antenna (7698p) heh.

thanks again fellas.
