I've been moving the antenna direction and re-scanning and checking it out.
This morning I am getting both Ch 5 CBS and Ch 9 KQED-PBS (both of them UHF) but they are still dropping out, too weak to watch something, they come in for a while then go away.
Not getting ch 2 FOX so far, but in the past I did get it with the old antenna sometimes. Probably work better in the summer without the clouds and fog.
I really want CBS because of some of my favorite programs, CBS Sunday Morning, CBS News, Face the Nation, of course 60 Minutes,...
Yes much better UHF. I scanned and got 50 total channels. Sometimes more. That is compared to getting about 18 to 28 channels with the old antenna, and 5 of those were VHF - 7.1,2,3 and 11.1,2. So overall much better UHF, and I lost 7 and 11 of course because they are VHF and give ABC and NBC.
I am now getting analog 25 KRON very well, which was impossible before.
I have 40 ft coax, goes to a grounding union, then another 15 to 20 ft coax going into the house, so very long, maybe 60 ft total.
I had bought the 40 ft coax at the local electronics supply, they sell it in bulk by the foot, and put the ends on myself, but didn't know what I was doing and they are loose, so I'm sure that should be re-done or replaced.
