Northern Montana TV Antenna Advice Needed

Hi all,

First time I have visited this site. Lots of good information here. I was hoping you could give me some advice.

I just moved to a small town in northern MT called Chester, zipcode 59522. I currently have a small antenna that is mounted on a short mast about 12 feet off the ground. The antenna is only about 24" long. See the attached picture. It also has a small box mounted below it which I think is part of an ampliphier, but there is nothing else in the antenna system. See the attached picture.

I only have one TV set up to this antenna and it is about 50' from the antenna. I recently replaced all the wire from antenna to tv with coaxial cable.

The current antenna system does not work the best. I can only get a few channels and they are almost too fuzzy to watch. If I could improve these channels, it would be great. If I could also pick up a FOX station, I would be estatic!

From what I understand from the locals, most of the TV signal boosters are on some hills to the north of me. I am willing to buy a new antenna, booster/ampliphier, what ever it takes to improve my current condition. If you could help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks you very much.

Chandra
