Hello,
Firstly, thank you to the people of this forum for assisting us newbies. Yesterday I eve mounted an RCA ANT751 to the side of my house. Elevation is approximately 15ft and I currently have it pointed at 76 degrees.

1.) Is this the best bearing to aim it at?
I started flicking through the channels; covered in fiberglass from running the cable through the attic. I thought disaster, no channels. I hit the auto-program and picked up 11 instantly. Hahaha. The first thing on was NBC's America's Got Talent. Picture was proper HD w/ no artifacts. Sharon Osbourne's voice, though terrible sounding, was coming in properly. However, I heard crackles in the lower registers of Howard Stern's voice. I will continue to watch for this audio problem. The cable run is 50ft on a RG-6Q cable. Cable is currently connected directly from antenna to television, but will eventually pass from:
Antenna ---Coax--->Surge Device ---Coax---> Receiver ---HDMI---> TV
2.) Could an amplifier at antenna be beneficial? Sorry, but I know of no way to measure signal.
3.) Is signal path acceptable? Will ground surge device with #10 to common ground.
Thank you again,
Daniel
