Thanks for taking the time to respond. I’ve tried to educate myself on various antenna-related terminology but I’ll admit up front that I’m still struggling a bit with understanding the science behind it all. If I understood though, you’re saying that the monoprice antenna might be too weak to pick up the stations without the amp, but the station signals might be too strong for it to pick up with the amp without overloading; correct?

If amp overload is the culprit, do you have any thoughts on why this would be a problem on only one station (Fox) while other similar stations (ABC, NBC, and CBS) with almost identical signal strength, distance, and direction are all coming through flawlessly?
