When I completely remove the preamp from the system I get a slightly higher signal on my vhf channels and slightly lower signal on the uhf channels, based on my converter box signal strength "Bad to Good Signal" scale.
At the start of my test (with the preamp in the system) I was no longer getting ABC which was disappointing, but for the most part I was getting the other major networks with a little pixelation. Without the preamp in the system I was getting slightly more pixelation.
One other thought, does it matter than I'm using galvanized EMT conduit (i.e. magnetic) as a mast? I saw that Channel Master and a few other manufactures make galvanized steel masts so I figured it wouldn't interfere with reception, but that was just an assumption.
