I'll try rotating to 328, I guess that will be a good test on whether I can get LA stations. I live on the west face of Black Mountain. But there is a ridge to the south of me - that's likely my 1Edge.
I'll try pulling the surge protector out - unfortunately I haven't done any grounding on my setup yet. I need to run copper wire to my electrical box, but it's quite a route to get there. When I do get it properly grounded, I imagine the signal will drop again - if that's the problem.

LA PBS stations would be fine too. All I need is "PBS kids" for my little ones - the children's shows that air in the morning.
