Wow, you guys are awesome. I temporarily put the antenna in the attic and it picked everything up fine on one tv with 25' Walmart R6. That was without the amplifier. I also carried to the roof and held it place between the rooms that I would be splitting tvs to. My cheap Panasonic tv said signal strength was 73 percent in the attic and 84 percent on roof. I don't know if there was any actual science involved with the metering but it obviously shows some signal loss. I figure that when I add a splitter that attic signal would go down more I just wonder how low on the TV meter it can go before it loses the channel. Another bonus of putting it on Roof is that I should be able to get to each tv within 50' of antenna. My plan is to run r6 down outside of house in trim to crawl space. Hook first part of amplifier up on roof near antenna then power inserter in crawl space on antenna side of splitter. How does this plan sound?
