You can add a middle section to the 91XG that will provide a small gain increase, but more importantly can help tame multipath if that is a problem. You should be getting all of the yellow coded...

It is nearly inpossible to overload without an amplifier. You would have to be a lot closer to Merrifield to even consider overloading. What kind of noise are you experiencing & on what channels? I'm...

A slight tilt upward can improve reliability of problem stations, especially if you have hills in the way. I usually end up using the first notch of the tilt mechanism.

No, a preamp won't help you with 13. You're too close to WGAL as well.

Jim, Tigerbangs is correct. Getting something outside will likely be your best bet at this point. I'm was hoping the trap would help somewhat since channel 11 is working for you. I've tried attic...

The YA-1713 is shorter, has a 75 ohm weatherproof connector & is usually less expensive. Never used the Antennacraft, but performance is said to be pretty much the same.

Yes, you can find them on E-bay, or you may want to get an HLSJ if you can get it for the same price. The HLSJ does a better job with FM stations below 92 Mhz.

One other thought. Are you using a Channel Master 7000 converter box? I had 2 of them & they both had a pixelation issue every 30 seconds or so with WUSA. (Even before they moved back to RF9)
