Well, here's what happened today.
First, I hooked the Polaroid up and pointed towards Johnstown; approx. 150 deg.
Picked up WJAC (UHF) but not WWCP (VHF).
Disconnected and moved to the DB8e.
And that's where the challenge continues.
I have no idea what precise direction that thing is aimed.
I don't know how to take a reading on it..
But, these are guesstimates.
Right now, I might be at@210 magnetic
Anyhow, I took it off the metal roof and put it on a wood light pole.
Right now, it's 10' up to the center bar.
I had some mixed results with just the antenna.
Then, I tried the RCA preamp.
I got nothing at all with it.
Disconnected it and did a little more adjusting.
The last location I got 29 UHF channels with the coax hooked directly from the antenna to my CM amp/splitter.
However, when I hooked UHF and VHF back up to a splitter, that dropped to 5.
I am waiting for a combiner to come Tuesday.
Some of those stations are weak, but ok to watch and others were terribly pixelated and not able to be watched..
For the first time, my TV attempted to get WPNT. It couldn't be watched but it showed up on the screen.
Seems like the splitter I'm trying to use as a combiner doesn't work for UHF.
It has no affect on my VHF stations.
This particular pre amp seemed to not work.
There were no instructions but I hooked the antenna to the UHF/Combined port.
There was a switch that I left on.
The other choices were FM Trap and Off.
I don't know what to make of that.
I think I'm going to leave it until my combiner comes on Tuesday
