Keep in mind as you experiment with antenna location, it's difficult sometimes to distinguish between naturally occuring signal fluctuation and a change in how your antenna is aimed or positioned. This is especially true where signals are weak to begin with.
Thanks and it's OK. I didn't want to reveal my personal issues, but I was fed up and angry.

Yeah, we're about to give up and just order cable TV next month/July since OTA feeds got way worse this week (30-40 channels scanned, and mostly channel numbers from KCET's 28 and up) and the weekend. It's weird because weather isn't different like a few weeks ago. It is just warmer lately due to upcoming hot summer.

I kept nagging/bugging my stubborn folks/parents that everybody, on the Internet (even showed the replies!), say to put a big roof top powerful antenna on top of this new house but noooooooooo they refused! Who cares if the antenna is big and ugly on the pretty house! Gah! I wished I could do it secretly myself! I told them that they will have to pay for expensive cable TV (lower HD picture quality too) then (not me). [sighs] Bah, we wasted many hours and over $80 on this RCA rooftop antenna and can't even return it to Fry's Electronics since it has been after 30 days.
