help with reception in antioch ca

hi I need help choosing an antenna and amplifier please. right now I have a radioshack antenna and a yagi 713 combined with a uhf splitter and i used to have a wineguard amp connected but it lasted about a week before all channels went black and I had to disconnect it. Lately my channel strength has been getting worse i think maybe I need a new cable as it "might" have got twisted by my weed eater. oh my antenna is up on my hill and I have 100 feet of rg6 run to it. these are the channels that I get if I go up on the hill and rotate the antenna 2,3,4,5,6,7,9,10,11,13,20,22,29,31,36,40,42,44,54,58,65.
these channels dont always come in and thats what im trying to fix or help.
here is my report http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...99004b9e9f56e3 thx

Tv Reception.

Install a Winegard HD7082P antenna with a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp aimed at about 65 degree magnetic compass.

The HD7082P antenna is a ALL band antenna , VHF low 2 thru 6 , VHF high 7 thru 13 , UHF 14 thru 51.

There are receivable Tv stations/channels in all 3 bands.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

Direct burial RG-6 will last a long time underground from the antenna location to the house.

thx for the quick reply/ Ive found that i like the channels facing sf more than sacramento so I would aim it at 230 degrees and wouldnt a more powerful antenna be better like a wineguard 7698p and the preamp
