Thx much for all the suggestions. I definitely need to pick up the signals from an outdoor antenna due to the stucco walls the house has.

I am going to try moving the antenna a bit off-angle, and also getting an FM trap, to see if I can find enough improvement w/o getting a new outdoor antenna.

If the lost leg is causing the old outdoor antenna not able to pick up KGO and moving the antenna around/adding FM trap don't help, I'll get a replacement antenna as the next step.

The old RG59 coaxial cable goes way up on the existing antenna above the chimney, and replacing that cable requires pulling down the existing antenna -- I might as well get a new outdoor antenna and the coaxial cable at the same time.

Don't know why KGO is still on VHF, or my life would be a lot simpler... .


What'd be some good FM trap(s) to try that don't affect VHF channels much (or any generic FM trap would do)?


Thx... .
