I've moved the antenna around but it doesn't seem to make a significant difference.

thanks again.
OK, there could be a joke there... but;

In post 11 & 12, we answered the question... Electron's suggestion of the Winegard HD7696P is spot on. Paired with the CPA-19, I believe you'll see much more reliable reception, particularly of CH-9 & CH-11. Overall, the gain and directivity of the larger Winegard will significantly improve both UHF and VHF reception.
