I live in St Charles, slightly closer and I have the same issues. I also am using the Flatwave. I can get channel 9 but I then sacrifice other stations. I have a sweet spot right now that for odd reason gets 9.1 but 9.2(kids) just barely doesn't cut it and is unwatchable. Luckily they have a roku app for my 2 year old. Long story short with the Flatwave in optimal conditions for my location using any location in the house I have to choose yes or no on channel 9 vs other top stations. Even on the second story of my house I have this issue and I get channel 50.1 randomly which is odd when looking at the reports. I plan on going the outdoor route once this weather goes away and go DB4E like ADtech suggested. Just my experience with the flatwave which is a nice indoor product for the price. Years ago I had good luck with the Terk HDTV1a but I would have to move it slightly to watch channel 9, but it was bulkier but easier to aim.

That RCA amp you suggest ADTech I can't find online, did you mean TVPRAMP1R? Only reason I ask is cause I was interested in other options. That is what I plan on getting and it is $21 at Walmart or at that Menards by you jsues2. There is a good breakdown in the other section of the forum with a sticky on the TVPRAMP1R.
