This is probably a dumb question.
I have a RCA ANT751 mounted about 8' high on a gable mount. I recently disconnceted it in favor of a Winegard HD8200 which I have mounted about
4' below it.
The Winegard is facing about 122 deg true (east towards Albany) and the RCA is facing about 255 deg true (west towards Syracuse)
Winegard is connected with the TVPRAMP1R (Which I am considiring upgrading).
Originally I tried to combine antennas but I got too much intreference so I just disconnectd the RCA and I am catching most of the stations I want to from the west on the back end of the Winegard, along with mostly everything to the east. My elevation is about 1315 feet, which is higher than most of my local towers and most everything else around me.
The stations I cannot recieve are WUTR (real 30), WCNY (real 25) and WMHT (real 34).
I find it strange that I am picking up WTVH (real 47) perfectly off the back end but channel 30 won't get picked up at all.
Here is my TV Fool Report:

I am wondering if my disconnected RCA antenna could be causing some interference and causing stations that I would normally get to not be picked up.
I ideally want as many Albany and as many Syracuse stations that I can get. A/B switch and a Rotor are impractical for my situation. So catching signals of the back end of a deep fringe preamped antenna seems to be my best bet. My signal is split in my basement to 5 TV's.
Please let me know any opinions or suggestions regarding this issue.
The preamp I was planning on upgrading to is the Winegard AP8275. (I am aware that a preamp will only amplify weak singnals and not make the antenna more powerful or anyhting like that.)
I'm still a novice with this stuff, but have been doing my homework and learning more as I go. Mostly trial and error.
Thanks Again,
Nick
