A couple of quick questions before I run some tests in 30 minutes...
During my previous testing, I had a small coax female/female pass-through connector which I had in-inadvertently changed the direction of. This hurt my signals. When I changed it back, signals went back up. I wasn't aware these were directional.
Are grounding blocks directional as well? I'm wondering if I should try switching the direction of the grounding block I'm using. Also, on grounding blocks, are some better quality than others? I'm using one line on a 4to4 grounding block that DirecTV installed years ago. Should I upgrade this?
I applied silicone to the connections on the block an hour ago and retested signals in anticipation of going up on the roof. They're almost all weaker now than they were when I started. If anything, more leaves are down than when I first set up the antenna. Do signals fluctuate based on time of day or did I screw something up?
