Howdy all

Hope everyone had a great thanksgiving.

The weather in Des Moines today is light rain/Freezing Rain. Thought I would monkey with my antenna some more. The antenna was sitting on top of the computer's bass speaker, but I now have it sitting at roughly a 30 degree angle (from vertical) and pointed approximately 327 degrees (magnetic). This is what the digital TV signal analyzer app I found for my smart phone indicates the 'prime' signals are coming from.

This is the breakdown of the channels I am and am not able to receive:

KKCI N S to Spotty/Pixelated
IPTV Spotty/Pixelated
WHO Spotty/Pixelated
COMET (17) OK
KDMI OK
IPTV (21.1) N S
KCWI OK
KEFB N S
ION N S
WOI N S

This all leaves me scratching my head. Would I be better off with a better antenna OR would a more powerful pre-amp alone perhaps solve the problem?
