Hello, posted in another forum about a year ago and was suggested the 7698P

I agree with the suggestion I just got laid off shortly after I got that suggestion and in the mean time found that tv fool had more than just a signal anlysis, it had forums!
The stations available to me are
WTKR
WSKY
WAVY
WVEC
WHRO
WTPC/WHRE
WGNT
WTVZ
WVBT
WPXV
I get all of them currently just have to saccrifice wsky to hit the sweet spot to where wpxv comes in reliably. Which makes sense wsky is 70 miles away and over the VA and NC line while the others are in the Great dismal Swamp area of Suffolk/Chesapeake... thats another thing thats holding me back, from what I can tell the 7698 wont have as wide of beam width..so I'd prob not get wsky..which I really probly shouldn't be getting. I'm just lucky.
these are the pics of my antennea

I'd like to mount it up at the peak. That would get me above the tallest tree with 1 and a half pieces of pipe.

this was where I was pointed a year ago.. since then I got a compass and found out I needed to go about 20 degrees to the right to get it where It should be pointed... Removed a diplexer and splitter since the other room has no tv and thats how I was able to finally recieve wpxv... The diplexer was messing me up... I'm pointed between 190 and 200.. closer to 200 gives wpxv very solid but takes away from wsky sooo I got it in the middle to where wsky comes in a little better.. More height and a solid mount and aim should help me.....
So do you agree with the 7698P? with or without the Pre amp? I've got my peak mount and 2 sections of pipe, I used to install cable so i have bags of PPC EX6's and Quad shield RG6....I'm planning to do a complete rewire with a dedicated antennea line and 2 two my dish for if I decide to get service again and a fourth for a possible second antennea all to a keystone jack at each location.
My last question do you think any of the Richmond stations would be possible with a second antennea and AB switch(seperate line).. because I'm going to turn my current antennea to the north once I get my new one and see what happens....Do you think an Antenneas Direct XG91 would give me any hope of richmond?
http://www.hdtvantennalabs.com/forum...043-t1463.html heres the link to my post in the other forum I give it because it has AntenneaWeb and HDTV Labs reports as well as the TV Fool report from above.. The TV Fool Report is the closest to reality for my location.. The others were way too conservative.... Sorry thsi is so long just wanted to be thorough.
