The U8000 is mounted at least 40" below the Wingard YA 1713 on a 10' mast using a (non-functional/no fire in fireplace) chimney mount and both connected to UVSJ which goes to CPA-19 mast mounted preamp. From preamp coax goes down 2-story exterior wall to ground block, then through house wall and across width of house inside of crawl space and out the opposite wall to a 3-way splitter (previously used by cable company to feed signal to TV's). I will check all of this but I am fairly sure there are no other splitters or coax splices to that point. Coax sealer was used on all connections. What I do not know is exactly how the coax in the house was run 15 years ago - this could be where the signal is loosing it's strength I would guess if there are additional splitters in the coax wiring of the house. It is not going to be easy to try to run new coax in the house but that might be what is required.
What if I purchase 100' of new coax and connect it to the ground block on side of house and run it through the front door of my home and directly to the back of the main living room TV, this would bypass all of the old coax run in the house. I would have a direct connection from antennas to the main TV to check for signal strength. If I get good reception with this temporary connection then I know that I must run new uncut/no-splitter coax inside of the house.
Thank you for the expert assistance - it is appreciated
