There are three things that I've noticed.
1) Univision is significantly stronger than its peers, even though it's physically near the other towers. |
According to
www.rabbitears.info, WFDC is using one million watts effective radiated power. I live in Smithsburg Maryland, fifty-five miles northeast of the station, blocked by a ridge hundreds of feet higher than my antenna and I can still receive it.

2) Fox has completely dropped off (no signal quality). Maybe I damaged a specific frequency the amp at some point?

Remove the splitter, connect the UHF antenna by itself and try to get WTTG back. If you get it, reattach the VHF side.

3) I'm worried that I overtightened the VHF antenna wing nuts where the cable attaches. I haven't gotten much out of it since i loosened it all the way and replaced the transformer.
Any help or advice would be appreciated!

Try reversing the change you made to the VHF antenna, if possible.
