I am in the KC metro area. Specifically Gardner, ks which is just south west of the metro area.
currently i have a 4 bay channel master antenna on a 10 foot poll. We have a ranch style home and the antenna is mounted about 4 feet above the house. There is nothing in the way close anyway. We are on a slight hill. The way the antenna points NE and there is nothing in the direct line of sight. There is a small airport about 2 miles away.
The antenna is not pre amped.
when i go to antennaweb.org it says

Now according to this i should not be picking up anything with just a 4 bay not amped.
I have dish network and this antenna is ran through a diplexer then once inside it is ran through the dish provided diplexer again and into the back of the receiver. I get good signal on KCTV and KSHB both are around 80-85. KMBC channel 9 i cant get. But i can get WDAF FOX with about 80 signal.
The others come and go. But the problem is i lose signal when it gets windy or raining. Plus i would like to get the other channels i cant get now.
What can you guys recommended for this situation?
I thought about a CM 8 bay but did not know if thats much better then what i have now.
