Re: TV picture quality problems

Hi Jim,

The Terk antenna was originally on a 3-foot-tall mast on a tripod,
making the main boom about 5 feet above the flat roof. To
partially-comply with the condo-board's order, the antenna is now
laying on the roof (one end is supported so the main boom is
horizontal). I've run new coax from the antenna to the amplifier to
the TV set and all of the connections are good.

I have rotated the antenna thru all 360 degrees! I even used a compass
to point the antenna at Mt. Wilson. In both cases, the picture quality
didn't improve.


Any ideas?

Gary
