just wanted to update on this thread -- finally after weddings, travel etc i have gotten my act together... the antenna suggested above has been GREAT overall... Thank you! it is amazing how much it picks up and how small it is...
only one problem though - as i am starting to pull out my hair trying to move the thing from place to place in the attic and testing -- channels 7 and 8 are troublesome -- currently i get neither of them even though the signal is very strong, and i wonder if they are interfering as channel 8 is so close geographically.
i have tried with both a pre-amp and not and get spotty results. the antenna is pointed at NYC and with the pre-amp i get all the other NYC stations at strong signal and almost all 100% signal quality. without - the NYC stations seem worse and stall.
is there anything i could do to try and block the signal from coming in from the back (8) or some other way to get one of these two to come in? without one of these i wouldnt get ABC...
thank you so much for you help and knowledge!
