Understood. I just hope that the 12 hours that my phenomena persisted are the last 12 hours of it that I see. It has not happened before or since. I personally cannot blame my setup for something that reared its head for such a brief span of time, that's all.
Have I just been lucky? Given all you and Ground Your Mast have said so far, I guess so! LOL! What I do need to ask, since combining antennae is probably going to become more common in the digital OTA environment, is what is the correct way to do what i'm doing?
#1. Do the lengths of RG6 from both of my antennas need to be the same, even though the DB8 is just outside the room where the TV is located?
#2. Should I be using something other than just a reverse-split method to combine the antennae?
#3. Should I be using something to limit what frequencies either antenna is capable of picking up - I.E. confine the DB8 to channels over, say 30?
These are steps I may be willing to take for the sake of all concerned partie- err - antennas!
