Direction
Thanks for the responses. Sorry I wasn't more clear in my original post. The antenna I have (HUB33) is currently aimed more-or-less in the direction of the problem stations. That is, it is currently aimed at ~120 degrees. I still pick up all the other channels just fine and channel 8 is fine. Channel 43 is the only one that is not perfect, although it's fine at night. It sometimes comes in during the daytime but is not really watchable as it goes out a lot or doesn't come in at all.
So a larger antenna will have a narrower beam width which might improve the reception for 43 but make worse the reception for the other channels, is that correct? Looks like the Winegard has a beam width of somewhere around 50 degrees for most of the channels and a gain of about 2-3 dB more than the HBU33. Is that enough of an improvement to pick up this channel? And would I lose the others in the process?
Or, as was alluded to, is there something else (even easier, I hope) that I can try?
