It is remarkable that you were even getting WSPA (CBS) on Real Channel 7 with the Mohu leaf since it is not designed for VHF-hi signals. It's not surprising that WYFF (NBC, real ch 36) flaked out...

You'll probably only get NBC on one of the two VHF-hi options (WILX or WOOD). WEYI-NBC (UHF) is likely too weak for an attic installation. Everything else on your list is on UHF. I think I would...

I think a 4-bay aimed at ~290 magnetic is a good idea for all of your UHF channels. The aperture should be wide enough to pull in a lot of the signals from all three directions. How strong is your...

I would try to fix it if it were me. I've fixed broken elements before using just the right diameter threaded rod so that it is a snug, screw-in fit to the ID of the broken element. Use a 4-6 inch...

You have some pretty weak signals. It will be a stretch, but with a lot of hard work and some luck, you *might* get the first 3 channels on your chart. Try entering higher heights to see if it...

It's weird, because WNNE is already broadcasting the exact same content as as WPTZ 5.1 (NBC). In fact, I think WNNE is a translator for WPTZ. Also, WPTZ already has three channels on its signal: ...

Channel Sharing

I have noticed that after the re-pack, WNNE real-25 from Mount Ascutney (which I believe is a local translator for WPTZ on real-14 from Mount Mansfield) will be entering a channel sharing agreement...

I have tried both the Denny Stacker and the HDB8X. In my experience, the HDB8X had 2-3 dB more gain on UHF.

You have some pretty decent signal strengths. An indoor antenna might work, especially if the window you're putting it next to faces east. You will probably need a VHF element to get your ABC. ...

Original poster said he is only interested in the signals to the southwest. Further, I doubt the VHF kit will pull in WXIA NBC on Real Channel 10 in an attic installation. Maybe outside, but in the...

It sounds like you're after WXIA (NBC, real channel 10), WGCL (CBS, real 19) and WAGA (Fox, real 27). All around 238-degrees magnetic. Is this correct? If so, you'll need something with VHF-Hi...

Are you sure there isn't a diagnostic screen option for your TV so you can see exactly which real channel you're receiving? What is the TV make/model, maybe we can help you find it.

I strongly doubt that antenna will pull in WLBZ with an NM of only 9 dB. I think you need more horsepower than that.

Yeah, the HD8200 may not quite have the sensitivity to pick up WABI-13 (CBS) and WMEB-9 (PBS). Whereas the MCM-30-2476 may pull these in, but it will almost certainly miss WLBZ-2 (NBC).

But...

My bet is the 30-2476 is better than the 8200 for VHF-Hi, but I don't know for sure. Comparing specs across antenna manufactures is a crap-shoot.

Since NBC is a must-have, I think I would go...

Assuming you're after the Big-4 Networks + PBS, it would appear that you don't need any UHF capability because FOX is simulcast with ABC on WVII real-7. In fact, except for NBC, all the networks...

Are you after PBS on real channel 10 from Calais? If so, you'll need to add a rotor to your shopping list. My preference would be to try to pick up PBS on real channel 9 from Orono- then you won't...

I recommend doing the amplification down at the base of the tree. That way if the pre-amp fails, it is easier to replace. Also, I used RG-11 for my 50-ft downlead to save about 1dB over RG-6...

I think mine is unchanged. It still shows a post-repack channel allocation for at least one station, and pre-repack allocation for others... NM values are consistent with mid-2017 database queries.

From what I understand, "overload" doesn't mean permanent damage, it just won't receive that channel (and possibly others) very well.
