I think I'll stick with the pair for now and see what I get. I'm thinking that the 91XG will allow me to get a better signal on those that I already get and using a signal line should prevent some loss (at least I would think so). I posted another forum question about the antenna height and maybe playing with that I could get some additional gain as well. I didn't think that lowering and antenna would improve the signal!
Let me ask a hypothetical - what does it take to get a station that a NM of -19? Is that for execptionally clear air where signals travel well? Would I ever be able to get such stations by stacking antennas? At 10', I could make a pole that comes down easily and add antennas as time goes on. I'm thinking that 2 or 4 YA1713's would be my limit. Not sure if I can double up on the 91XG's and have them both pointed in the same direction or not.
Thanks again for the advice!
