I think i may not have made myself clear when i made that 5 A.M. post this morning. I didnt realize that each station would give me a different signal strength. I was thinking i was looking at the strength of my connection from the antenna to my TV. I know it sounds extremely stupid that i made that assumption and thats why i mentioned the newbie comment. I now realize that each station that i tune will give me a different signal strength. Im really not a stupid man and had this idea stuck in my head and was blinded by my inexperience.
