Chantilly, VA - Reception Help

[Bluewizard]

Hello All,
I have been OTA for a while now and think I should have a way to get some better reception than what I do.

Here is my tvfool report:

I have a problem where the Broadcast stations are on the other side of a hill with townhouses on them. So I have to point my antenna right at the hill and well needless to say this does not have the best of receptions. The Hill starts its slope up about 20-30 feet from the back of the house.

I have a Winegard 7084P and a channelmaster pre-amp. The other problem is that it can be windy and it moves my antenna so it goes from a touchy ok for the channels to well not so much.

I am not opposed to replacing all/part of the setup to actually get all the local channels. Right now I don't get channel 4 (NBC so it looks like 48), 9, 50, 20 (35) is so so.

These seem to come in ok, 5 (36), 7, 32 (WHUT), 30, 66 (34 Most of the time)

I would have expected things to work better than what they do. I have RG6 Coax running down the side of the house from the antenna to inside.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

How high is your antenna from the ground? Can you re-run the report at that height and at, say, 10' and 20' higher? Any way you can get more height if that might solve it?

7 and 9 broadcast from the same location at almost the same power and elevation so it's puzzling why you'd get one and not the other. Might just be in a bad spot, you could try moving the antenna 10' or 20' away from it's present location and see if that helps.
