Hey Guys:
You are great. Thanks for the input. I have attached a picture of my splitter ground block. I don't recall seeing the straight through ground at Fry's but have seen it elsewhere. Being at Fry's and thinking I might give feed to my landlord and emmm.... assuming that the connections for coax to grnd blks were basically the same I went with it. I can go out and grab the straight one thus eliminating some of that loss. Thank you Rabbit and Ground. Ground your comment about waterproofing is appreciated. My ground block is out doors right where the feed wire runs off through the car port at about 9' high. I have the wire attached to a 6" bolt connected to and sticking above my antenna run to and thru the block (by stripping 3/4" there) and then continuing on another 8' to a ground block on my service panel. Those are not water proofed so I thought I did not need to waterproof the antenna block.
And No static thanks for recommending the 8275. I will order it right away.
Last night the system began it's breakdown of signal shrotly before sunset and just grew worse all night. Only channels I got were 9 KCAL and 30 Ion. Can of any of you tell me what could cause the reception to break down at that time of day?
