@ADTech: Thanks, I'll try the FM trap and see if it makes a difference. But I find your recommendation for a 20db attenuator interesting. I would expect that to degrade the antenna's overall performance. However, having said that, I admit that when we had cable, we regularly had issues with ghosting on channel 8 -- which, I believe, indicates really strong ambient reception given it must've been leaking in through the cable connection.

GroudUrMast recommended moving the antenna outside -- which would be a fairly simple thing to do. It certainly seems that we experience increased degradation when the roof is wet -- which happens quite often around here. Do you have any recommendations on how that might improve things?

Keep your receipt just in case.
