Rural VA Need Help
 

I was wondering what you thought for getting channels at this location. I can get the antenna about 25' AGL as we are right at the water..

Here is the tv fool report at 25'

FMFool report if needed, I probably need an FM filter

Going up does nothing for me it seems which is ok since it would be hard to get very high. Any suggestions for trying to pick up the DC stations? Particularly 4,5,7,9,20,50 if possible

I just learned the other day that FM fool URL does not work like the TVFool one. You will need to post an image of it.

Your TV Fool Report is only resolved to the block level. Try re-doing it with these instructions: http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=14508 - It might or might not make a difference but is worth dong.

Sorry just got back in town. Was actually down there and of course it has no internet and barely cell phone coverage. It didn't change much but here is an updated tv fool report.

I figure I definitely need a preamp and am torn between the CM 7777 and CM7778 and also which antenna to get to grab the most channels. I figure those pre amp's have FM blockers so I won't need that.

Anyone have any antenna recommendations?

Winegard HD7698P aimed at 351 degrees magnetic and CM7777.

The coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge, but the system will not survive a direct strike.

I see a lot of trees in your area. I hope there are no trees in the signal path, they really mess with TV signals.

Your TVFOOL report doesn't take them into consideration.
