Raised antenna - PAX=yes CBS|FOX=no

I finally broke down and got a much bigger antenna.  It's a winegard something.  Second from their biggest size.  Grunt Grunt Grunt    I also put a mount on the roof instead of inside the attic like I have now.  I am in Thiensville.  The old antenna was a 3 element.  Not sure what brand.  Bought it at Menards many years ago.

Channel 55 now comes in much better.  The Digital version is stable.  It used to be unwatchable due to lost portions of the image.  We get PAX on Dish.  What I really wanted was at least CBS and maybe FOX!

Other than that, nothing else is better.     I pointed it right down Green Bay Rd and Fox only gets low signal messages.  I was really hoping I would at least get CBS!  Channel 4-* are still the same.  Low Signal Strength.

I noticed that the antenna is pointing right through the transformer on the power line pole.  :eek:  Got me wondering if that's my "other" problem.  Some days, channels 4 and 6 have lines through them.  Not weak signals or anything, just bars of noise.  Haven't had a chance to see if the different set up clears that up.  It only happens a couple of times a week.

I feel your pain. Out here in the sticks I am still waiting to pull in Fox and CBS on my 4228 mounted on the first floor roof. I am still thinking of making the trip to the second floor roof to get the antenna higher, as well as install a rotor to see if I could pull the Madison (Or other areas) flavors of Fox and CBS.

 Just so you know Neosho is about 8 miles East of Hartford and 12 miles north of Oconomowoc.

 Happily I am getting all the other Milwaukee stations without issue.
