I have personally had better luck when just a small of extra gain is needed using the Channel Master 3414 distribution amp. I've really been impressed with how well it can improve marginal signals in blistering strong signal areas.
Unfortunately no matter what you do, some occasional signal intrerruptions will still likely occur with the weak 2 edge signal from KDKA.

Any recommendations on rotators? How do people get power up to their roofs? That's something I don't think I'll be able to do so I doubt I can even get one..
