Tim, when the CM-5020's original "built-in" balun failed I called Channel Master. They stated that I could not get an exact replacement balun, instead all they offered was the CM-94444 in-line balun. I had to cob the CM-94444 on to the frame of the CM-5020 antenna. I sealed it as best I could with 3M black mastic tape so it's possible its leaking. When I replace the balun with a new CM-94444 I'll simply let it hang down with the protective boot over the coax.

jrgagne99, here is the antenna performance data I gathered. Pixelation occurs at 10%. Isn't it interesting how the reception degrades for the channels 7's and 10's as if there is a temp dependence going on here.

Time Weather Temp Chan 7’s Chan 10’s Chan 15’s Chan 38's

1205 Cldy 44 23 35 53 45
1320 Cldy 45 No signal 10 59 38
1420 Cldy 48 No signal No signal 60 40
1540 Cldy 49 10 10 No signal 39

Sorry about the crummy looking table. All of my tabs were ignored.
