Hi Jeff,
How close are those trees to your home and antenna??
The proximity of those trees are likely to seriously affect
your reception. The closer they are, the worse reception
will be. You do not indicate how many sets are connected
to your antenna. That is very important. An 85' run of
cable is another red flag. The longer the cable, the more
signal loss you have, period. Is there a way to get from
an antenna to ONE television with a cable run of 50' or less?
The clearstream 2V is a good antenna but probably not
the best in your situation. If it were me, I would use your
current setup to drive ONE television with the shortest
cable run possible. You might try pointing the antenna North
West at Rf12 and Rf 22. You might consider an amplifier or
preamp only if you can return them, if they don't seriously
improve your reception. Another alternative would be to mount
a Winegard 7698p pointing directly for RF 12 and 22. Keep
your cable run at 50' or less. Mount the antenna as far
away as possible from the trees, if possible. Use a good
RG6 cable and drive only ONE television. Hope this helps......
