<p>[QUOTE="dave73, post: 98200, member: 6089"]WOCK-CD is the weakest station overall. They're only broadcasting at 300 watts. WLS-TV on RF 7 is at 7kw, while WBBM-TV on RF 12 is at 8kw. Those stations aren't the problem at all. WOCK-CD is the one since I moved my VHF antenna down. I didn't even have this much trouble with WBBM-TV when they were on RF 3, since that station was at 2.8kw. I'm already thinking of replacing my UHF antenna, now that the rain has knocked out WWME-LD again. I'm putting serious thought of getting an 8 bay antenna, as it's not as directional as my yagi antennas are. It's sad that my last combo antenna picked up WWME-LD better, though it was junk. In my case, yagis are proving to be a bigger problem than they should be. Once I decide to replace my UHF antennas, I'll move the VHF antenna back to the very top, then have the UHF antenna lower. Or I might just get a new combo antenna, but not sure what I'll get if I go that route. My cables are fine. It's the trees that are in the way, & 2 UHF yagis that are way too directional for WWME-LD.[/QUOTE]</p><p></p>
