By far, your biggest issue is the trees and the close proximity to them.
If there is another point for you to mount an antenna, further or away
from the trees, that would help. A new, larger...

Hi Lefty,
As mentioned earlier, I would use either a used Dish/Directv mount or you
can buy new. MCM Electronics sells a 39 inch "J" mount for 10.99, part

Lefty,

You should not need an amplification unless you are going to provide

One red flag would be the excessively long cable runs.
Another red flag would be mixing RG6 and RG59 in
the same system. Cannot help but wonder if there could

Forgot to mention that the antenna may need to be
adjusted so as to point at not only South Mtn but
slightly upward as well. It made a big difference at
28th Street and Bell.
