Unfortunately, it would take a spectrum analyzer to 100% identify if this is your reason for the "No reception" of WGAM's channel 8 signal.

If I am able to raise the antenna a bit more so that it is above the power lines (say 6 feet or so above them) and not pointing directly at them, will that get around most of the noise from the powerlines? Or do I need to be very far from them?
Thanks to both you and teleview for the info. I have some PVC pipe that I am going to use to try to raise the antenna as high as I can so that it is still stable and see if that gets me anything.
