The wife wants a better signal. Especially ch 7 ABC
Current setup. Is an old beat up Radio Shack VU-190XR at 28 ft to clear the trees.
RCA TVPUAMP1R on the mask. 60ft good Belden RG6 to a two way splitter then about 30 ft each way.
The Antenna I had so I put it up to see what i could get and it is better than I expected.
I get most the Mt wilson channels with dropouts, More drops on wind or rain.
I need to get ch 7 better (Hi VHF per tvfool).
Looking at the tvfool map looks like i am line of sight just missing the mountains.
Ch 12 may be an overload problem.

I tried an old radio shack adjustable gain amp I had in place of the splitter and it does not help.
Then i installed the RCA pre amp and got a little improvement.
What antenna should I go with a Wineguard HD7698P ? What about a Antennacraft U8000 or Channelmaster extrementenna80? I never used one of the BBQ grill looking antennas.
I was thinking if after installing a new antenna if ch7 is still a problem. Building a CH7 only antenna for the VHF input of the RCA amp.
Thanks a bunch everyone.
