Hi,
My house is about 23 miles southeast of Tucson and I would appreciate some advice on antennas and possibly a preamp that would receive both Tucson and Phoenix TV stations. I currently have an RCA Yagi antenna (four years old) on the roof (about 24 feet above ground level) that is both VHF and UHF with no preamp and can receive the Tucson stations with no problems after splitting the signal to four rooms in the house. Most of the Tucson transmitters are about 30 miles from my house. The house is approximately 1,000 feet higher in elevation measured from the Tucson airport and considerably higher than Phoenix. I can receive some of the Phoenix stations at night but they break up and are not watchable during the day.
My wife has Multiple Sclerosis and she watches television as her sole source of entertainment. I would like to expand the number of channels that she can watch. We cannot afford monthly cable bills due to the medical bills.
I would really appreciate recommendations on antennas and possibly a preamp that would work in my environment. Could I just buy a Wineguard AP 8275 preamp for my current antenna or is a new antenna mandatory? I suspect that a deep fringe Yagi would work but I don't know if a preamp would overload with the local Tucson channels and become somewhat useless for the distant Phoenix channels.
There is only one low frequency VHF channel in Tucson - the rest are high frequency VHF or UHF.
Here is my signal analysis:
