Please do not recommend the CSM-1 to any one , it is a small UHF channels 14 thru 51 antenna. That does not do a good job of receiving the VHF high band channels 7 thru 13.
And does not do a good job of receiving the VHF low band channels 2 thru 6 .

A better - indoor type antenna - is the Terk HDTVi antenna.

----> No I am not recommending that you buy a HDTVi antenna <----

To improve reception with the antenna that you have.

You can put the CSM-1 antenna above the roof in such a manner that the roof and house are not , obstructing , impeding , blocking , reception in the directions of , North , North East , East , South East , South , West .

Put the antenna Up Inside a up side down plastic bucket , to keep the rain and weather off of the CSM-1 indoor type antenna.

You can figure a way to install the antenna in the plastic bucket , on or above the roof.

One idea is to fasten to the top of a chimney.

If the top of the chimney is the place where the antenna is at then make sure that hot gasses that come out of a chimney can not get to the antenna and bucket , hot heat that comes out of a chimney is not good for the antenna and bucket.

For best reception the antenna must be upright , as it would be if standing on something inside the house.

RG-6 is the best to use , however RG-59 will work ok.

If buying new coax , only buy RG-6 coax for long coax runs , and is best to use RG-6 for short runs.

Short coax jumpers , is ok to use , 6 or 59 .
