I recently installed a Winegard HD8200U (no amp) on a Rohn tower at 30ft. I could not be happier with the number of channels I am receiving, especially since most are between 43 to 81 miles away (some even further).
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...5b94ae40ba5f9a I have the antenna aimed at West Palm, 172 degrees (magn), and not currently interested in the signals coming from the Orlando (330ish degrees) area.
My only problem is that one of the main channels I really want (WPTV-DT 172 degrees magn), has a signal strength that fluctuates from the mid-80s to mid-50s and then pic goes out for a bit, then returns. This may happen with other stations, but I've only experienced on this one so far. Should I perhaps get a preamp/amp, or is this just how it is going to be? I'm receiving signals much further away clear and stronger without fluctuating any. Appreciate any thoughts on strengthening this signal.
