KING KONG call letters here have always been amusing.
KIRO (39) is THE final prize in this installation.
I suppose the PCT amp could be hung off the antenna tilt bracket since it is designed for outdoor use although it requires another piece of coax for supplying power - 50 feet in this case. I am hoping with the extra elevation I won't need it at all.

The XG91 is supplied with a dandy elevation-tilt clamp. I have it set now at 9 degrees, pointing just above some trees in the distance. I recall studying RF propagation called "scatter" and I think that is exactly what this antenna is trying to collect. Has anyone experimented with varying amounts of tilt? Would pointing it higher in the sky be better?

My late-model Vizio TV in the living room displays without stuttering video/audio but my 2007 Emerson (Funai Electric) in the bedroom stutters even with strong signals. That leads me to believe the OTA tuner is poor.
