I am pointed apx. 89degs East.

How could that be right for 36.1 WSBE at 163 or 40.1 WGGB at 289, or 69.1 WPXQ at 209 degrees?

The winegard CC-7870 can combine a pre-amp antenna with an antenna without one. Not sure if this is worth trying.

That's the type of combining that I said doesn't always work. Some channels remain, some are gone. Try it and let us know the results.
You don't believe every ad you read, do you?

The Winegard CC 7870 2-Way Antenna Joiner Coupler (CC7870) is nothing more than a standard splitter in a mast-mount case. Unless your "cheap splitter" is junk, the real problem is probably due to phasing problems and signal distortion caused by the unwanted signals entering either antenna from the other one. Another possibility is whether or not you interrupted or blocked the power to the UHF-only preamp with the splitter.
Since you're "tired of getting up", get a remote controlled A-B switch. I see that AD has them on sale for half price (now $19.99) with free shipping. Look on the Rotor/Rotator page under Accessories.
Otherwise, you'd probably be looking at two Jointennas to add in the two off-axis stations provided you can find the ones you need and that you don't inadvertently wipe out any adjacent desired channels off your larger array.

Multiple Antennas?

I currently have an 8 bay bowtie pointed NW towards Pittsburgh, and a 4 bay bowtie pointed NE towards Altoona, PA . Both have a Channel Master 7778 preamp, and run 75’ to a Channel Master DVR+. One antenna is mounted on the front of the house and the other is mounted on the side of the house, I think that the only channels picked up by both antennas are WJAC, WPCW and WWCP.
When either antenna is hooked up separately, most channels have a good signal (close to 100% strength and 100% quality). When I combine the antennas, the signal drops a little bit on some channels but the signal quality on WATM and WTAJ drops down to 0% (with 100% signal strength).
Does anybody have any tips or trick that I can try to pick up WATM and WTAJ? |
