You're right, that in many cases, the signals might be too strong for an amp at 15 miles.

However, in this case, the OP's tvfool report indicates that the closest channel is 31 miles away (blocked by some terrain), and the strongest channels at the top of the list are 42 miles away. Based on the dBm values I'm seeing, I do not think that amp overload is a problem for fishguy.

But again an old amp could be bad. Most amp are 2 parts do you have both part.
Also a good point. Amps and power supplies can go bad, especially if there's ever been nearby lightning strikes or any deterioration of the housing for the outdoor part of the amp.
