Thanks OTAFan.

Yes, looks like I should have copper for the attic to basement run... the power inserter for the Winegard LNA Boost 200 is in the basement.

What is a bit odd is that it is working reasonably well delivering signal down that 100 foot run. I do not know if it is copper. My current problem is the short run from the splitter just down from the LNA which is just under the antenna.

My next trick is to try to gang two antennas to pick up the one channel I am missing almost exactly 180 degrees. I can separate two identical CM4228's by a good 16 feet and maybe that will work without ghosting. What I am reading and learning is that this is a "game of chance". To save $60 or more per month, I will invest some capital.
