Any members located in the SF South Bay area? I'm wondering what people have been doing for their terrestrial reception. What has worked for them, and what hasn't.
Currently, I've got an Antennas Direct DB4 and Winegard HD-6010FM with a CM-7777 preamp, mounted 20ft high, approximately 37 miles from the Sutro tower.
Overall, I get solid reception with all but two stations, KGO (v7 rf7), and KTVU (v2 rf44). I wonder if this can be due to the fact they also simulcast on rf35 and rf48, respectively, from San Jose. I have deleted the simulcast channels from the tuner, as they seemed to be even worse signal strength/quality, most likely due to direction, as they are actually much closer.
I am thinking of upgrading to an 8-bay antenna, probably AntennaCraft U8000, and maybe even change the preamp, probably an AntennaCraft 10G222.
Is anybody else having issues with these two stations?
Does anybody else have any experience with either the U8000 and 10G222? (Or, for that matter, the DB4 and CM7777?)
Thanks.
