The addition of a high band VHF antenna would be helpful. Consider either a Y10-7-13 or YA1713.
The extra height may not offer much improvement unless it helps you clear nearby trees. |
Tried posting a reply yesterday, but it did not show up so I'm trying again.
It's good to know that I'm getting good performance, but I'd like to have an "optimum" setup to know that I'm doing all that I can. I'm thinking about replacing the HD9032 with a 91XG and adding a YA1713. I'd connect those through a CM7777.
One other thing that I'd like to do is replace the existing coax with one run from the preamp to the preamp power supply in the house. It's currently two pieces connected outside. I'm wondering guage coax I should use for a 120-150' run?
The extra height I'm considering is to get over a house that's a little higher than my house down the road.
Thanks, Dave
