Check www.antennaweb.org. Enter your zip or a more definite location to view everything that's available to you, direction, distance, etc. From that you can compare WHCP to the others in terms of distance, etc. A booster won't give you a signal that's not being received by the antenna. It's more to overcome lengthy coax runs. You might have problems in that WHCP is too far away, or there might be obstructions or terrain in the way. You might need to add another antenna just for WHCP - that's one option. Try the booster first since you already ordered it. If that doesn't work, try the other options. Note: Some of your other locals that you are currently receiving fine without the booster might be hindered by the booster due to too much signal strength overloading the amp or tuner. Good luck!
That is because your area is served via W53BJ translator/repeater. The actual affiliate is some 82 miles away and the repeater is only 3 miles away. I THINK repeaters only pass SD signal, maybe someone can confirm that?
Well, I was referring to the translator / repeater only; the affiliate in Portsmouth does.
Look into these UHF antennas and a pre-amp:
Aim at 298° and get it as high as you can.
