Good News!!!
While waiting on the FM trap, I started experimenting with the antenna pointing direction, (winegard 8200). I normally got my best signal for 13 while pointing the antenna just west of 324 degrees, something like 318. Last night, I decided to leave the tuner set to 13 and do a complete sweep counter clockwise while watching the signal meter on the tuner. I was getting absolutely no signal strength until just before reaching full north. All of a sudden I got a huge spike. I got the best signal strength right at 4 degrees. I don't remember having done that before for 13 and I never would have expected any decent results being pointed at least 40 degrees north of the target. But I must say I am impressed and thrilled. I checked it out again in the middle of the day just to make sure it wasn't a fluke and I'm still getting great reception. I'm pulling in channel 17 as well. I don't understand why it's working so well at 4 degrees north but what can I say, it works!!!
