Good to see you testing the set up. The thing I'm watching is if KPIX gets enough signal to you for the CM-5020 to work with. Speaking of KPIX, too bad they aren't VHF. That longer wavelength would've helped out tremendously.

Also, don't be surprised if the signals at 164/165 magnetic drop out from time to time if you keep a single antenna option without a rotor. I didn't find the CM-5020 beam width specifications for reception off the front, I can tell though that even with a fair to good signal off the backside, it doesn't always mean stable reception of those backside or side signals. My 91xg does good with most of the locals off the left side, however I get drop outs on LOS local with 54 db of strength hitting the antenna. That is why I have the ANT751 in place, to be the local antenna shooting 85 magnetic while the 91xg works on the weak signals at 141 magnetic. Getting most of the locals of the left side of the 91xg was just a bonus.

Regards.
