Tbird,
Those signals at 2+ miles are extremely strong. When I watched your video I was thinking weaker signals and trees. I was surprised by your report.
I agree with GroundUrMast, the DB8 is the wrong antenna for your application. You could honestly get away with a small VHF/UHF combo like the Antennacraft HBU11 or RCA ANT751 and be more than fine with Youngstown. Both these small antennas don't have anywhere near the gain of the DB8.
Cheapest solution is to put the attenuator in line.
Is Youngstown your only goal or are you attempting Steubenville and Pittsburgh signals?
Also do you have trees in your pathway?
Cheers.
