new to forum but want to ask this

Own a mobile with a metal skirt. Ran 50 feet of coax to an Outdoor "flying saucer" style UHF antenna (has 30dbi amp also) So its a pretty strong system which only provided 2 channels out of the gate. Have a 1 year old flat screen. All our reachable stations are from the same repeater location at 270 degrees south of me and 32 miles away. Some digital and some are not yet converted I guess. I unhooked the coax in trying a different antenna which didn't work. I re-hooked up the coax again to the same flying saucer a second time and now have 6 channels?. More to obtain yet!!!!

Not sure what I did different. The connections are tight but is my house causing more interferences that I first thought? Curiously we were in a storm when the other channels came in - that's weird. The saucer is sitting 2 feet above a metal roof but shouldn't that have affected things from the beginning?

thanks for any thoughts or suggestions to try out.....
Sam
