From Burleson, aim the antenna due east then back to the left about 10°. The front of the antenna is the narrow section.

No, you likely don't need an amp and you shouldn't need to merge two antennas.

Just hook it up with a temporary RG6 coax to start with, then follow the TV set or converter box owner's manual to program it for reception.

+=> to receive help that is more then general recommendations.

Please make and post a Tvfool radar report and channel list.

Go to the Tvfool home page and click on , >>Start MAPS<< ,

Use the Exact address to make the report and make the antenn height in the report 25 feet above ground.

25 feet above ground is a reference antenna height above ground that provides a good idea of what is receivable.

Please post the Tvfool report.

Thanks.

Based on the provide picture of a Tvfool report not a live Tvfool report.

Aim the antenna at about 90 degrees magnetic compass direction , East.

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

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna.
