Attempted to trim tree branches on my property.
No improvement on RF 12 reception.
I was able to get KNTV content from alternative RF 49 transmitter.
So I did not do much until this summer.
RF 7 and RF 12 signal quality continued to degrade.
Replaced baluns twice on the 2 stacked y10-7-13s resulted in improvement on RF 7.
Still no lock on RF 12.
Silicondust needs signal quality of 50% or better to lock.

As experiment I converted my vertically stacked Y10-7-13 to a horizontal layout using saw horse next to
antenna mount.
Trial and error horizontal distance between the antennas.
11.1 (RF 12) finally locks with horizontal layout.

RF 12 right at digital cliff.
Over time the best spot on roof for RF 12 changed. I may need a separate location and mount for RF 12 longer term :<
Quality of retail baluns not very good. Maybe I need to make home made versions for y10-7-13 array.
So far RCA pre-amp still working. If I need to replace I will consider combining UHF and VHF feeds and use Antennas Direct Juice pre-amp.
