Well, I just finished installing the higher mast an hour ago. Unfortunately, I'm TOTALLY exhausted as I spent 5 hours doing so, (lots of prep work) and have to quit for the night. My blood sugar is so low, I'm all charley-horsed. I need to get it all tuned in. I eyeballed the antennas directions before putting it up, and they are off on aim a bit.

I also thought I'd take the chance to swap out the coax going to the UHF antenna, and the UVSJ, and there's apparently something wrong with one or both of them. I'm getting almost no signal on any uhf station EXCEPT channel 5, which is the strongest one. I do get signal from the vhf antenna, but it's still at the same strength level as before. I'm sure the antenna aim is off a bit though.

That'll teach me to make too many changes at the same time... Anyway, once I get my strength back, I hope to figure out what's going on now with the killed signals on the uhf antenna, and get it all tweaked in and finished this week sometime.
