Channel Master TV Antenna Rotator System w/ IR Remote(CM9521A)

Channel Master Channel Master High Gain Antenna Preamplifier - CM7777
Iwas thinking of using these products in hopes to improve my reception.
Not sure if my area is like a limbo region.
ANY help much appreciated.

Absolutely not. The CM7777 will overload from the strong signals. You have four transmitters within 5 miles of you, assuming all of WGAL's are on the air.

No amp. Try it that way.

You'll also likely find the rotor won't last long with that big of an antenna on it.

Thanks
so get rid of rotor get rid of amp
how bout just the gigantic antenna do I try that. right now I have a very old and very modified large arrow antenna. I am also using ribbon wire. I was thinking of upgrading to a shielded cable.
will that help me get cbs 21.1 or pbs in Harrisburg.
or should I be content with abc nbc fox and Baltimore channels.
I really appreciate your help.

You'll need to identify stations by their call letters which are unambiguous.
