So for the update on my reception...10G202 preamp is installed with the FM trap IN. I have the old antenna pointing SW and the UHF bowtie antenna pointing SE. Both antennas have about the same length coax running to a splitter combiner. Then I have the preamp in line. Then there is roughly a 50 foot run of RG59. I may switch it out to RG6, but don't know that would actually help the signal much. The preamp's power source comes next. I then use a distribution amp with 4 outputs and another FM trap in the IN position. 3 outputs are to the TV and one to the FM receiver. I see I may have to do something else with my FM because it doesn't need any amplification and still needs to be filtered out of the TV run. After all is said and done I seem to have adequate signals across all channels EXCEPT 35, however it is very borderline now. It seems to work for say 5-10 minutes and then I'll get a few minutes of pixilation and digital noise. It's becoming very frustrating. I would like to get this solved before the leaves fall off the trees to make sure it's a keeper.
So that's the best I can seem to come up with here. I would be willing to return the UHF antenna if something else could be more serviceable to me.
