Yes, did you do a tuner rescan?
I hear the frustration in your voice. Remember, TV antenna installs are sort of a black art. There are many variables at play, sometimes you have to work through them to find the solution you want.
An idea is that I might try another receiver other than the RCA 7". If your indoor TV is your final destination, I would conduct my testing on that TV as it's tuner is the one that will be used daily.
I am leery or recommending a preamp to you. The RCA TVPRAMP1R serves me well and has a good tolerance for strong signals. In my situation, I have 65 db signals off to my side, while you have 71 db. You are also much closer than I am to your strong signals transmitters.
I would:
A. Test on indoor TV, doing a
complete digital channel rescan with only the Y5-7-13 patchd into the TV.
Do this rescan each time you fiddle with it.
B. If A unsuccessful, order and test RCA TVPRAMP1R on Y5-7-13
C. If A and B unsuccessful order Y10-7-13. Test Y10-7-13 with and without preamp to determine best reception situation.
You are seeing other signals on the Y5-7-13 yes?
