I would have expected to get CW also. Maybe the trees are causing too much signal loss.

One of the problems with WUPV CW is that its transmitting antenna is very directional, and your friend's location is in a null where only 78 kW out of 1000 kW ERP are sent to that location:

WUPV will be moving from UHF channel 47 to VHF channel 8, which adds a complication:

What is the cheapy amp?

First try a test with a Solid Signal HDB91X UHF yagi and a good preamp might do better for CW. It that works, then try for ABC and CBS.

I agree with the MCM 30-2476 for ABC and CBS. Combine the two antennas with the Antennas Direct UHF/VHF combiner, AKA UVSJ:

avoid the MCM 33-2230 combiner; too much insertion loss.

Location is at bottom of a hill, and there are trees.

I'll see if I can refine the location. I think the trees are the biggest issue. There are less trees toward the DC stations

Would you be willing to send me the coordinates of the antenna location by PM so that I can look at the satellite view?
