What is the cheapy amp?
First try a test with a Solid Signal HDB91X UHF yagi and a good preamp might do better for CW. It that works, then try for ABC and CBS.
I agree with the MCM 30-2476 for ABC and CBS. Combine the two antennas with the Antennas Direct UHF/VHF combiner, AKA UVSJ:

avoid the MCM 33-2230 combiner; too much insertion loss.
Would you be willing to send me the coordinates of the antenna location by PM so that I can look at the satellite view? |
That's a big shift for WUPV, probably not a great thing for my set up at home. Athough I have lots of signal from there, shifting lower in VHF will be harder for my HG. Looks like I may need to do some tinkering when that happens.
As for the amp, I don't know. It's from one of those flat black plastic indoor antennas that was given to me. The antenna had no VHF and in order to get NBC 12 I built the HG and ditched the little square guy. It's enough to help cut signal loss running from my attic to the basement and back to ground floor through some really old coax.
