I think the DB8e aimed at 225-magnetic is your best chance for good reception of the UHF stations on your list. You may even be able to aim it at 206 magnetic to pull in WTAE on real ch-51, while...

No. In this case, I think its positive gain should be counted to the positive side of your ledger. Rabbit may correct me on this.
In this case, I think "connectors" means barrel connectors...

I recommend getting one from Walmart or Walmart.com. My recollection is that they were generally of good quality with way fewer issues than the Amazon.com ones. Anecdotally, mine came from...

I did a bit of research on the mast and coax grounding.
Mast grounding: As I understand it, the main purpose is to prevent static charge build-up at the antenna, thereby reducing the likelihood...
