Would like to professionally increase antenna reception

[hoophead]

Looking for experience, even on the side, for Madison channel reception problem.
Have Winegard HD9095P with no preamp/filter. UHF Yagi roof mount. R66 cable - no spllitters.
App 5yrs old. All Madison channels app. 42mi away from Watertown house. Receive excellent reception on their NBC, PBS, CW, and ABC channels but marginal, at best on their CBS and FOX channels.

If interested in looking let us know your experience, fees, etc.

Thank you in advance

What are your signal strengths on FOX & CBS are they solid or fluctuating up and down?

Fox=73 app., CBS=66. Fairly solid; tonight it was CBS=71 and FOX=72

Your information suggests that you don't have a signal interfering with those 2 channels, you could try a distribution amplifier to see if it can boost those 2 without killing your other channels.

I would mount a pre-amp at the antenna. A Winegard AP8275 or AP8700 should do the trick. Check the cable at the antenna for any water damage, if so cut back an inch or two and put on a new connector and of course double check the aiming. An inch or two left or right could make a big difference.

Ebay has one search for auction # 221214960156 it is a gamble but for $20 not too great a risk
