Turns out my new model CM7777 pre-amp is actually fine. Raising the antennas higher caused the signal level to go high enough that it got swamped out. I'll keep it for a spare, and use attenuators in front of it if need be.

Everything has been nearly perfect the last two days, even with the monsoon 3" rain we got on Thursday!

I'm going to slightly turn the UHF antenna East maybe an inch or so, to balance out the signal levels between WBSF-46 at 129 degrees, and WSMH-66 at 162 degrees. That will change the present aim to slightly East of WEYI-25 (about 4 degrees).

Then maybe I'll try going after WUWB-20 again at an NM of 5.3 with a separate HDB91x antenna. That might be pushing it due to trees that way, but I can get WCMZ-28 solid at 62% on the main antenna at NM 5.8, and it has just as many trees that way. If I can get that channel 20 to lock, I'll have to get an AC7-CH.20U from Tin Lee and then try joining to the main system. I emailed them for a price quote, but no reply so far.
