Installed antenna results

Got the winegard Hd8200U antenna with the winegard AP8275 Amp. Not mounted all that high...about 13 ft above the ground. I'm getting channels 6, 13 and 23 out of Albany. These correspond to digital UHF 6, 12 and 7...and that's it. All VHF, but no UHF channels are coming in. I was hoping for 26 (old channel 10), 34 and 43, but no go. I'm wondering if getting the antenna higher would help. I may wait until next summer to experment...get the antenna off the ground mast and put it on top of my chimmney and see if I can get any UHF channels...before going through the trouble of trying to install the antenna at increased elevation.

My old set-up...smaller antenna at 8 ft off the ground picked up 6 at 98% of the time, and 23 (7 UHF) maybe 25% of the time...and 13 maybe 2% of the time. So...at least I'm ahead somewhat with 23 coming in close to 100% and 13 coming in almost that good.
