Welcome, wessman

Winegard HD7698P antenna aimed at 191 deg magnetic and an Antennas Direct Juice preamp.

If you can't get CBS on WFSB, real channel 33, you will need a BIG VHF-Low antenna for CBS on real channel 6 aimed at 280 deg magnetic.

If the antenna is outside, the coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge which will tend to discourage a strike, but the system will not survive a direct strike.
