@teleview, when I saw you refer to a smaller antenna I was concerned. However, the 7082 is reasonable.
But, if reception of KCWX is a priority, then using a large antenna mounted high enough to have an unobstructed view toward 246° compass is vital. The Winegard HD7084P has about 7.4 dB gain on CH-5. If mounting higher provides an increase in NM, then this has a much greater chance of working well.

@Cabal, Try running a new TV Fool report at higher levels. An NM value of 17 dB or greater puts you in range of stable reception of KCWX using an HD7084p equipped with an Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamplifier.
