I have an old antenna (25+ yrs) on my roof and the reception has degraded over the past several years, especially since the digital transition. The best reception I currently get according to my RCA digital converter box reception monitor is 27-28%.
My first move was to replace the old cable. The new one is roughly 60 to 70 ft long with one inline weather tight coupling. It is split to TV and stereo which are next to each other in the house.
As the old antenna is not much more than riveted aluminum, I was reluctant to believe that it was the issue, however, I have come to accept the idea that it may have passed its prime. I want to replace it but having tried a yogi type antenna and been burned, I want to get it right on the second go-around. I like listen to FM as well (K219LW primarily).
Any assistance as to antenna(s) type, preamps etc. rendered will be appreciated. Notes, I distrust rotating antenna configurations due to sometime dusty and extreme cold conditions. The local NBC translator (k51hf) is still analog. Single story house,no attic.
