reception problem (Richmond, CA)

Hi,

My report shows KICU 36(36.1) is shadowed by the ridge to the south of me. The report also shows the relative level is 4dB down from KEMO from Santa Rosa which I can get just fine at around 83%.

Apparently, I'm below the threshold my Sony DHG-HDD250 can detect for the antenna scan. UHF antenna is a 91XG at 18 feet off the roof on a rotator.

Times like this I wish I had an RF testset to see real 605MHz signal level whether it is worth trying a mast mounted preamp or not.

Should I try? Signals from Sutro tower come in very strong, could the preamp overload on these or overload my receiver?
