Thanks for the feedback. I used the RS preamp because it was readily available. I may order the Winegard 8700 before my next trip up and return the RS one. It had good reviews on the web though. But I've been told by a couple of others on forums to look for something better.

As far as the antenna, it was a recommended option and the opinion was that this type is much better than many you can buy currently. I did go off of instructions on building so it wasn't something I randomly put together. I would say that it has done a really good job at this point. The conservative estimate from different web sites was to pull in one maybe two channels. I'm getting the 4 major networks plus a local weather station in digital format so I feel quite good about that not having it mounted on the roof.

Just need to figure out the best way to mount it now. If it fails me, I can always try a different antenna.

Thanks!
