Hi everyone. I am new here and new to antennas. I havent messed with an antenna since I was little boy when mom would send me outside to turn the antenna pole to tune in days of our lives.
Here's my report.

Anyhow, I have recently installed a Mohu SkyHD antenna at my home about 15 feet above the ground at the peak of my roof outside. I have it pointed in the direction of WHP, WITF and WHTM. WGAL, WLYH and and WPMT are very close so I figured I would point at the tower with ABC (WHTM) on it so I could focus on that and hopefully still pick up the other channels.
I was somewhat right in my thinking because I am picking up WHP, WITF, WGAL, WLYH, WPMT, WBAL and occasionally WMPB with varying strength, but I can not for the life of me pick up WHTM, the local ABC station. I had it one time a couple of weeks ago at this location but it was a windy day. I have since been unable to tune it in. If I could pick up ABC, I would be extremely content and happy with my cableless life.
My setup is the SkyHD, as I said mounted about 15ft above ground on the peak of my ranch style home pointed directly at the WHP and WHTM tower. It runs into my basement using the included 30 foot cable. At the end of this cable I have attached the included amplifier which is then attached to a four way splitter. Im only using two connections on the splitter, but the Sky is supposed to be able to power 4 TV's, so I have the splitter there for future purposes.
Is there any hope for picking up WHTM or do I have to just live without ABC? Any thoughts on my current setup? Would I have better success with a different antenna, or pointing in a different direction? I am new to this, so any advice you can give would be great.
