Need antenna advice

94SupraTT · 03-23-08, 10:28 AM

I currently have a U75R attic mounted and I receive all of my locals other than CW in HD. All of the channels are at 170° or 171° with the exception of CW. CW is at 279°. Would a preamp help me pull in CW? I'm looking for a cheap solution.

Please repost this in the HDTV Hardware reception forum along with your zip code. "CW" does not tell us the digital broadcast channel, the call sign, the distance to the station, nor any hint as to your terrain (flat, wooded, hilly, mountainous). The U-75R is a fairly directional UHF antenna. Is the "CW" station broadcasting on UHF? Will all of your local stations stay on UHF next year? Your zip code will help with that.

Looks as if he meant to post this in the Huntsville, AL, section. Closing this one.
