You made my day, Mike.
Thank YOU!, I appreciate you bringing up, and getting me to re-evaluate the whole thing,

I had thought about power-line interference, but couldn't think of what I had here that might cause it. I looked around a little, but never thought about that charger, OR the laptop power supply that's been running in my living room for years! (I wasn't using OTA tv much during that time)

I just didn't realize how INSIDIOUS power-line interference could be with digital tv.

Now, if I can only calm down the multipath on windy days. I'm going to try some things now to get my signal levels higher. That should help.

Does the "planar reflector" he built and added on the back of the Y10713 antenna here: http://www.antennahacks.com/hacks/myy10-7-13v.htm help with multipath?
