....First of all I want to give a big thanks for the guys running the forum, it is a terrific site and I have learned a great deal since cutting the cable cord. I have learned a lot from using the search feature on here, it is an awesome resource.
I currently am running a setup of a channel master 3020, 18 feet up, with a cm0068 Spartan preamp connected with 30 feet of rg6 cable to one tv, no splitters. I have an older hdtv and I am using a converter box, and have successfully scanned 88 channels (including sub channels). I get about half of these depending on which direction I am pointed, and of course if it is night or not. I plan on upgrading to 50 foot mast and perhaps a cm7777 preamp, which would give me more gain than the 0068. I have a low power local station just over 3 miles away, (Max ERP:15 KW) do you guys think the 7777 would overload on that signal? I currently get it at 80% on the 0068.
I also know the 3020 isn't the most highly regarded antenna. and if you guys have any suggestions on better equipment, I am all ears. I am interested in getting the Nashville and Memphis stations if possible, as I only get then now about half the time. I have 2 trees in my yard which are perfectly in the way of most all the signals, but that will be corrected when I elevate to 50 foot. Here is a link to my tvfool report below, rated at a height of 30 feet. Thanks in advance to all the knowledgeable folks on here.
