I finally removed the 5' mast and installed a 2.5' mast that is 1.5" galvanized pipe. It is much heavier and more rigid than "antenna mast" material and I have adequate reception at this height.
I've attached a picture of what I have, now. In the Spring, I'll bring the cable into the attack and attach it to coax that runs down the far corner of the house and into the basement where my splitters are located so that I can supply my other rooms.
It is great to receive all of the digital and HD stations out of Philly, crystal-clear and without breakup. Now, for the first time in a long time, I am enjoying HD, FREE! Well...minus the things that I have purchased to make this plan come true.
Thanks to all who assisted. Pointed at 65-70 degrees (Where is the degree sign on my keyboard?), I'm getting all of Philly's transmissions.
I have rotated to 230-235 degrees and receive three or four Baltimore stations, as well.
