OK so here is an updated status on where I stand:
- lowered antenna/dish angle so its now parallel with the earth (improved sig strength)
- pointed it in the instructed direction (checked with compass)
- replaced faulty balun
- relocated preamp to about 30 inches from the balun connector (decided to leave the preamp online as it was boosting strength about 10-15% on avg per channel)
On my report I get CBS digital 28 at about a steady 65-70% signal and it uses the same tower as NBC 9.1 that I am trying to get. I see that CBS broadcasts at a much much higher KW so I am assuming that equates into higher db signal in my area. When I click on the
signal map for 9.1 it shows I am in light blue coverage area (typical range of attic antenna), but am still can't get the slightest flicker of it. What on earth am I doing wrong? Do i need a separate VHF antenna or something? Thank you all so much for any and all the helpful advice! I must be prepared for football and to watch ND lose! muahahaha
