I say the balun matching transformer is bad. The antenna is a very good design , it is designed for the UHF channels and VHF high channels and thats the channels you are receiving to the south east / south west. Also look inside the coax connector on the end of the coax and see if the outer shield and shield wires are pushed in toward the center wire , use a Small flat blade screw driver or Small point of a knife and push the shied and shield wires away from the center wire. Also the center wire of the coax needs to be sticking out a little ways past the end of the coax connector. Sometimes if the wire is to short and is back in side the connector it won't make the connection inside the balun that the connector is connected to. Connect it all up with the 100 feet of coax and see what you can receive with the antenna pointed somewhere in between KGO 7 and KTNC 14. If a preamp is needed then use this preamp Winegard AP8700 . If one or two tv's are connected.
