RE: the Leviton amp; I will do that. I have a few other amps laying around that I can experiment with if needed.

Chan 6 station must increase their power during the day because now it comes through over my 4bay antenna just fine.

I can't find my old FM antenna so will need to build one. I'm thinking a simple dipole antenna for channel 6. Calculations suggest 5.7 feet for 1/2 wave (2.85' each element). Some sites suggest loop, cat whiskers, or straight horizontal configuration. Not sure which is best. Horizontal seems easiest because I can just tac each end to a truss using #10 solid wire.
