Hey guys, we solved my daughters problem now let's try mine.
I am 45 miles north of the madison wi transmitters and have occasional drop outs and pixilation mainly when it is windy.
I have trees 50 feet from the antenna and terrain about 10 miles away that prevents line of site to the stations.

I modified my combo antenna by cutting off the VHF portion and kept the yagi part. I am using a channel master 7777 amp and normally have awesome reception.
The problem comes when it is windy in the summer and the trees move around and then the drop outs seem too occur. I thought it might be cell phone interference because there is a tower 1/8 mile away so I grounded the mast and coax shielding to a 5 foot copper rod.
The mast is secured with guy wires and doesn't move in the wind.
Is there a better antenna I can use to keep the solid signal when the wind blows?
Thanks in advance,
Dan
