adjustments
Today, I tried just moving it around in the attic with compass in hand. At 300 degrees magnetic, I get all of the channels but the signal on 6.1 NBC is less than ideal and get occasional pixalation. The trade off is between FOX and NBC. I can make FOX and everything else work pretty good between 300 and 310 magnetic but NBC is weak, Or I can make NBC work and then FOX is weak.
The direction that FOX comes from is more through the roof shingles as the peak of the roof is pretty much oriented East / West. Though PBS comes from the same direction, and it has a strong signal and is not a problem.
Hopefullly the gain by moving it outside will be enough to get both NBC and FOX at the same time.
It's not an easy job though as the peak is very high. I may look for a professional to install it up there.
Tower Guy mentioned an antenna, ant751 as less directional option. It's tempting to try that in the attic, as getting up to the peak is not easy. Could that work or is the attic always going to present issues?
Thanks for the input.
