Can you elaborate? I'm not sure how to interpret that. Are you saying, "give up, you'll never get FOX"? What's confusing to me is that we're able to pick up a relatively weak -89.2dB signal from WGBA 41 (NBC) without issue, but WFRV 39 (CBS) at -83.5 drops. Fox is hi VHF, closer, and stronger at -77.3dB, but is arguably the worst channel to tune.

At the end of the day I just want to make sure that all of the major networks are tuning without dropping. Am I on the entirely wrong path with the 7697 @ 20'? Do I swap out the entire antenna for something like the other recommendation of the HBU44 or DB8e, or do I start with a pre-amp? It seems like I'll want a pre-amp regardless of the antenna choice.
