Here is the latest on my attempt to bring in Ch 13 WLOS in Asheville, NC. I was able to bring in Ch 13 using a 10db Dist amp that only boosted the lower range of 50 to 400 MHZ while it was sitting on my ladder with a TV directly connected to the antenna. I moved the antenna to my attic and lost Ch13. I have 11 ft ceiling in my garage so I mounted the antenna on the ceiling of my garage but I was only getting a 10% signal for Ch 13 with an SNR of around 16. I was getting a better signal when it was mounted on my 8ft aluminum ladder but I am surrounded by trees to the northwest of me where the Ch 13 tower is located. And the trees have filled out some since I started this project. I do not want to mount the antenna outside.

I replaced the dist amp with a Winegard preamp LNA-200 preamp but it did not change the SNR by very much if any. I am not sure where to go from here. Do you guys think this is the best I can do? I am open to any and all suggestions. Does anyone think the Antenna Direct Juice preamp would fair any better than the Winegard?
