Thank you very much for your response. I really appreciate it. When I hooked up the Winegard preamp, I only received 6 channels. When I added a passive splitter it went down to 3. I removed the preamp, went to the 4 way powered splitter, which is so far the best. I know attic installation isn't ideal, and I am worried about Tropospheric Propagation this time of year like you mentioned. I have no idea what will happen when it rains (believe it or not we have had record dry weather here). My neighbor has a huge shop to the south of me, but I can aim just to the right of it. The 7698 is 14' long and I have tried (through a couple of weekends) every range from east to west in my attic. It is just long enough that I need to take it apart to move it more than two attic rafters at a time. (that is one of the reasons I am interested in the DB8e). The only VHF I want is Fox 13 towards Bremerton.
