You are better off with an A/B switch.

Generally a true statement. However, in this case, the two markets we're looking at are virtually 90 degress apart, so very little signal from one should be getting into the other. Rwilson, you have the right idea about the 90 degree business - looks like the 4221 aimed towards Youngstown is picking up some of Cleveland. You're having issues with RF channels 26 and 28, so the next best thing to try is aiming the 4221 90 degrees from them, which would be 74 degrees by the compass, only 2 degrees from pointing directly at WYTV. If that doesn't work, then change the spacing between the two antennas. Antenna combining issues are, in part, a function of frequency. Your problem channels are pretty close in frequency.
