Disconnected the LN-200 Preamp...

I did that and oriented the Stellar VHF antenna to 160 deg to point at the VHF #9 KUSA station but no signal there at all. Essentially got "the usual" set of high power signals although as might be expected I lost the UHF#24 the PBS station.

I'm a bit at a loss as to what to do next except start moving antennas around on the roof to find a hotspot up there. I'm a bit reluctant to add height to the mast as we have extremely high winds here and the leverage created by height will surely bring this thing down as I have a weighted down, non-penetrating roof mount.

I might try bringing the VHF antenna down to the location I'm getting a good signal with the bowtie. It would look strange in the room but there is a small attic above.

Really bummed out. Lot's of work for very little gain.
