Good suggestions Dave,

Here is what I would do if in your shoes.

1. Try raising/lowering the antenna in small increments to find a better sweet spot for RF50. As little as 3 inches can make a difference with problem stations, especially when you have diffraction issues.

2. Tilt the front of the antenna up slightly if possible.

3. Raise the antenna 5-10 feet more if possible & then try fine tuning height in small increments if you still find RF 50 unreliable.

4. Replace the 9095 with a higher gain antenna if all else fails.

Just keep in mind every time you change height, signal strength on other stations may decrease, so re-test all stations once 50 is providing satisfactory reception. By the way, are you using a rotator?
