I'm not a fine member but I'll chime in anyway.

Only 50 and 49 along with a translator or LPTV on 28 seem gettable. UHF only needed.

Which of these channels do you plan to watch? Can't...

Could be multipath. Or environmental conditions.

I have a similar problem with two weak signals at my location. One is VHF and the other UHF. Both are 2 edge signals and 55 to 85 miles...

Try removing the preamp. I suspect it is overloading your tuner with too much signal on the green signals.

WWLP may have programs that he'd like to watch at a certain time and they may not be on WVIT. I grew up in the Hartford area and I would frequently watch the Springfield area stations in addition...

Stations in red likely will require a pre amp and then you run the risk of overloading your gain for the stations in green and yellow. This could then backfire and leave you with substantially less...

You can use an A/B switch to combine two antennas like this. VHF on one channel and UHF on the other.

I demo'd the C4 but returned. Good antenna but didn't help me out much on Ch. 17 which is my biggest challenge. The 91XG is a very good antenna but too bulky for your situation and probably more...

I've been through this problem more than once. Indoor antennas pale in comparison to outdoor antennas even when used indoors. Find a good indoor antenna like the CM 4221 which you can mount inside...

^^^While I agree that the antenna is the problem, I do know that at my location the MXU59 is giving me the same kind of results with my signals as the 91XG.

I'd say the OP should try them both...

Agreed. Get as much height on this antenna that you are able and it will serve you adequately for the signals you've indicated that you'd like to receive.

Yes, the preamp needs power.

All of my signals here are in yellow and red like your own. I use a Channel Master Titan 7777 and Winegard AP 8275. Either should work just fine at your location.

The power lines should not pose a threat to the stations at 345 degrees. They seem to be out of Green Bay. The PBS may or may not be impacted though since that seems to lie to the south. The...

If you don't mind using a rotor then I would recommend the Winegard 7696p to be safe. It probably has a little more oomph so to speak than you need but considering how many signals are in your area,...

I'd try the MXU59 first because it costs less than the 91XG. Both should give you every UHF channel from WAZE to WTVW.

I'd then try the YA-1713 in place of the Stacker for the VHF channels. If...

I do have some trees in the vicinity and I think they may be the cause of some of my problems with the YA 1713 on Ch. 7.

Not sure that YA 1713 will work on such a weak signal. I have a Ch. 7 at 55 miles with a NM at 1.9 and a 2 edge signal and it only comes with my YA 1713 if I find a sweet spot on the mast and with a...

Another thought. After rereading your TV Fool report I had another idea.

It seems as though the weakest signals you wish to watch are on VHF. I've found the Winegard HD 7084 antenna has about...
