First, have you tested the reception capability of the antenna by itself?
Connect just the antenna, a short (50' or less) known good coax and only one known good TV (preferably one with good signal metering capability). Until you know the antenna is receiving a reliable signal, you can spend hours chasing real and imagined problems with the rest of your system.
Is it WHDH that you have trouble with?
WHDH (real CH-42) and WFXT (real CH-31) are very similar in power levels at your location, but they're fairly far apart in frequency. The Stacker is like any other antenna, it does better with some channels than others. Be prepared to change the height and or location of the antenna, you may be in a 'cold spot' for reception of WHDH.
If I was starting from scratch, I'd consider using separate UHF and VHF antennas. But let's see if we can get the Stacker to work. (I just thought of the twin-lead harness cable... Try adjusting it's location relative to the metal parts of the antenna and mast.)
