I would opt for NBC 11 as it carries Me TV & I don't think you have much of a chance receiving WRC-48 from DC reliably.

As far as VHF antenna choice, I personally would go for the Y10-7-13, but if...

Add in the nearby FM stations & that amp is most certainly overloading.

Possible inerference from RF 48 in Winchester. I suggest playing with aim/height to maximize RF 48 from DC. How well do you get CW 50?

You really need some type of directional antenna to reduce /eliminate the co-channel interference. An omni will pick up both signals & more than likely not offer any improvement.

Doubtful that FM is your problem. Channel 2 is such a low frequency, only a true low band antenna mounted outside would have a chance of bringing it in.

You are in a null due to channel 8's highly directional antenna. That plus the inherent multipath are likely the cause. Try moving the antenna up/down/side to side & it should solve your problem.

Please describe your poor reception. Is reception worse overall, or are you missing certain channels? Is the Roamio set for OTA or cable? If set for cable channels, you will not see any UHF stations.

Does WTOL decode with the Zenith Converter or just show a weak signal? I thought you were receiving WTOL with your regular TV since adding the Y10-7-13 antenna? Are you still using the FM trap?
