Thanks for the test. Those results look good for CBS, NBC and PBS. These are stable and breakup free yes?
As to FOX, your signal quality is at 100 and the strength is at 50, which ought to reflect reliability. Are you break up free on FOX?
WLOS main signal (channel 13) is going to require different and stronger measures. If I were chasing it, I'd run a separate antenna with a separate lead dedicated for it then use a A/B switch to use when I wanted to watch ABC. The HBU33 isn't the ideal antenna to chase signal digit strength VHF broadcasts. The antenna I'd use would be an Antennacraft Y10713 VHF beam. The Y10713 is a strong enough antenna that'll give you the best chance at recieving WLOS steadily. That said, be aware WLOS is in 2-edge conditions, which means you have two geographical obstructions between you and the transmission site. Even with a Y10713 you might have drop outs due to the geographical pathway.
If you are satisfied with CBS, NBC, PBS and FOX with this test with no preamp I would leave it alone. Next week call WLOS and inquire on the status of W05AC, then you will have some additional info. Ideally, you can leave things alone and be without WLOS for the short term until the translator is back on the air. Once it is, a simple rescan ought to yield you WLOS via W05AC. W05AC ought to put a healthy signal in line of sight conditions to you.
Cheers.
