You are right, WSOC is very close by. Signal is so strong it pixelates at times, Not sure what do about that. If I disconnect amp, then I will lose the other stations from out of town.

Also, please tell me a little bit about overload and how I can tune down WSOC but keep the other channels.
ADTech has it right; it's a balancing act because of the great difference in strength between your strongest signals and your weakest desired signals:
Quote:
Add a small amount of attenuation at the input to your amp. You'll have to balance the strong signals with the weak, you likely won't be able to balance it perfectly as the power differential between the strong and weak is too great.
More details later when I have the time.
