TV Antennas and Reception

John,

Right now I do not receive WTVP-DT 46 PBS. I know earlier you said I had a better shot at true 200 degrees than true 73 degrees. When I aimed at 200 degrees nothing, at 73 degrees I get several channels. Down the list is WBBM vc 2 ABC this is reliable for the most part, but other channels like WGN vc 9 CW and WLS vc 7 ABC will drop out during the day, which are higher up the list.
I do receive channels as far down as WYIN vc 56 PBS at night.

Right now I'm running 50' of new RG-6 Quad shield coax, from the preamp through the window to the tv. I will need to eventually run this down the roof down 2 stories into the basement over about 15' back up the 2 stories to the attic over 20' then down the wall to the coax box in the wall roughly 100'.
How much signal lose in that? That is to 1 TV but would like to add a second TV if possible.

I hope I answered your question

Thanks again,

Mark
