Hi OTAFAN and Tower Guy,

I tested out the GE Pro but it wasn't any improvement over the RCA (no worse either). I did manage to relocate the RCA in my attic to somewhere without any forward obstructions. I also added a 6db attenuator. It was a bit difficult to install it in the new spot but it did improve the stability of my signal quality. I am now dropout free and the "backwards pickup pattern" corrected itself as well.

Thanks for the great advice!

Ken
