My neighbor is getting channel 9 next door from each of the spots I put a yellow dot with the same antenna.
|
Is he using a preamp?

They don't make it easy for you, but there is a link under Share. It would be better to upload your image from your computer as an attachment.

Does that site your using tell you where the sweet spot is? I don't understand how to use that, is there a video tutorial somewhere?

No, it just lists the channels, gives the green signal lines, and gives coverage maps. I can walk you through it step by step with an example if you so desire. I use the tvfool interactive map browser:

To find the sweet spot I walk around with a test antenna in one hand and my signal level meter in the other hand. The sweet spot will vary with frequency; find the best spot for your weakest desired channel and hope that the stronger channels are still OK.

I am going to order one of those Juice Pre-amps, is that the best one to get since it was designed for my antenna or would you recommend something different?

The Antennas Direct Juice preamp is very good. It has a low noise figure (that's desirable), medium gain for most applications, resists overload, and has an LTE filter to reject cell phone transmitters. It does not have an FM filter, but one can be added if necessary. There is the possibility that KZMN-FM might cause interference to VHF reception:

An alternate preamp is the Channel Master 7778.
The RCA TVPRAMP1R is less expensive, but of lesser quality.
The Winegard LNA-200 Boost XT is of lesser quality.
