Thanks for the feedback on my homemade antenna. Yes, that was my initial posting as I wanted to find an antenna to try up there. It is satisfactory if I can get stronger signals on 21 and 35. I currently get 9.1 - 9.6 PBS; 12.1 & 12.2 CBS, 21.1, 21.3, 21.4, & 21.5 FOX; 24.1, 24.2, 24.3, & 24.4 NBC; and 35.1, 35.2, 35.3, & 35.4 ABC. Just trouble with 21 and 25 signal strength.I'll recheck my aim of the antenna and try the FM block on it also.

I appreciate the tips on my home antenna install as well. I just got home and I am receiving 11 and 13 at 60% as well as channel 50 (7.1 & 7.2) is still up and down with slightly less upper %. I am using my signal strength test on my TV. I will try with preamp tomorrow. I currently do not have a grounding block but will try one if I can find one locally. Should the block be located near the entry of the cable into the home? I currently have a 100 ft cable from antenna into house with ends on the antenna and where it connects to amp inside. So I probably need to cut and put ends on the cable where it enters the home??
