You may be right about the RG-6, but I had disregarded that because he is at least getting some channels, but definitely important to see if that is the issue.
Could he be picking up those 2 channels without an antenna? The transmitter is 40+ miles away but on the tallest building in Chicago though.
The aiming of the antenna probably isn't the issue, because he sat in front of the TV while I moved the antenna and we talked over our cell phones.
The trees, also may force him to put a taller mast up and a larger antenna with a tip up adjustment. No decisions on that yet
