I would appreciate some advice. My zip is 19067 and I have an OLDER combo antenna on my roof with a rotator but am experiencing dropouts which I don't believe are multipath related. Any recommendations on an antenna - my instinct is to replace my current with a weingard combo (I'll need VHF after '09) and run new wiring - I'd like to keep it simple and keep the rotator but avoid a preamp. Also, my tuner is in my '04 mits CRT RPTV - could my problem be the tuner and not the antenna? Thanks greatly (I can't seem to be able to copy and paste the fooltv info)

That's because the radar plot and data table are actually a single PNG image. Click on the image and your browser should offer to save it as a file on your computer's hard disk. Then you can attach it to a posting via the "Manage Attachments" button on the message-composition page, and it should show up like mine below:

First thing I would do is to replace the antenna wire with rg-6 down to to tv. Not knowing how old the antenna and wiring is, it may be that 300 ohm twinlead POS stuff we all used to have.

At this distance, you'll need something like the Winegard HD7082p at minimum (and HD7084p may be preferred). You can get one at SolidSignal.com. Wire it with 25 to 50 ft. pre-cut Radio Shack Gold Series RG-6 cable (the shorter, the better).

The problem could be the older tuner, but if it is, I'd think it would be related to multipath (which could be caused by out-of-alignment sections on an antenna). Newer fifth-gen and sixth-gen tuners are much better at multipath resistance than even fourth-generation tuners (don't know what your tuner generation is but I suspect it's third or fourth gen). However, the cost of a new antenna and cable will be less than the cost of a capable HDTV tuner.
