That is true, you are not in an ideal location to receive them, but I have a few ideas you might want to try.
You need a preamp for the weaker channels from San Antonio, but KNIC is strong enough to cause overload. You could order a custom bandstop filter to attenuate real channel 18, but ChannelPlus makes a notch filter that is less expensive which might work.
Code:
Grounding
HD7694 > NF-469 > Juice > coax > Block > coax > Power > TV
Preamp Inserter
Grounding the coax with a grounding block makes the filter more effective.
If the antenna is outside, the coax shield should be grounded with a grounding block that is connected to the house electrical system ground with 10 gauge copper wire for electrical safety and to reject interference. For further compliance with the electrical code (NEC), the mast should also be grounded in a similar manner to drain any buildup of static charge which will tend to discourage a strike, but the system will not survive a direct strike.
