I have never been able to receive WMKE. At least not under ch7. Maybe when it was on another channel back in the analog days.
If you can't receive the channels on 36, ch10 is also a PBS affiliate in...

Channel 7 is probably a low power channel. I know it's a shopping channel from my Titan TV report, but it doesn't show on my TV Fool. If it's only a shopping channel, it's pretty much useless anyway....

Yeah, looks like Mad Town is probably about it.
If it were me though, I would probably pop for a rotor, just to do some sniffing.

Maybe try dangling a length of wire from the element that you were touching?
Your body is acting like an antenna.

It would be nice if they showed sub channels, but I guess that's just not their purpose.
Affiliates from two different markets can be nice for news and football.

When I first purchased my 7698p, it really lit things up for me.
A few mos later though, it was dropping out on all channels.
I traced the problem to the VHF section phase lines being dead short to...

As high as possible and outdoors, is always your best bet.
Indoor antennae have a higher risk of picking up interference from household electronics.
Plus, indoor antennae look kind of ghetto.

I would also recommend an outdoor antenna.
True, you do have some VHF channels, but which ones can you do without?

If your TV requires you to do a complete scan, versus simply adding channels, you will need to re scan every time you move the rotor.
2 antennas may be the answer.

For the money I'm saving over pay TV, I don't mind getting up once in a while to flick the A/B switch and coax is cheap.

If you left your balun connected while your power supply was still connected, you may want to replace it, while you're at it..
The fine wires inside the balun may have been damaged.

Wherever the coax connects, make sure you run it down past that point and then back up to the connection, or the opening in the building. I have always called it a drip loop, but maybe that's just a...

Unless there's some reason you want KLTV, you can go w a UHF only set up.
If your runs aren't too long and you're using only one TV, you shouldn't need a preamp.

It looks like the Winegards, are actually equal, or cheaper.
Their gain is lower, but I think other companies are more likely to fudge on their specs.
Plus, I just trutst the Winegard name a little...

You're usually better off, spending the extra money for a better quality product.
Not only dollar wise, but I'm not too crazy about climbing up and down my towers.

Sometimes, it's good to have a helper, so you can work the cable back and forth. If using the CAT5, be sure to tape over the RJ45, so its squared edges don't snag on something.
