Still trying
Electron,
I've found that I can get either 7 or 9 through the long run if I go completely unamplified. Problem is, I get 7 when the antenna is pointed towards the signal, and 9 when it's pointed the opposite direction. Can't get both at the same time, despite them coming from almost the exact same direction. The other problem is, I can't get any of my other stations without amplification. I'm so confused as to how it's possible to have "too much" signal (isn't this 2012?). I already own three different antennas, and am about ready to just start paying the cable company again. I cannot fathom how 70 year old technology can be so perplexing.
GroundUrMast,
That antenna was definitely cheap, but the problem seems to be that my signal is too strong in many cases. I'm at my wit's end, here. I HATE Mediacom, and refuse to pay them for service.
Believe it or not, I'm actually very good at troubleshooting devices, and work on computer hardware professionally (though radio is clearly out of my realm). I've attempted to systematically work this out, but there seems to be no rhyme or reason to this. Sometimes I'll get a perfect signal with one configuration, and then I'll change it to try to get other stations, only to return to the initial configuration and have no luck. I take it everybody's answer is that this antenna just sucks? My buddy at work rants and raves about his success with the exact model.
