Same here on all 3 receivers, get about a 9 out of 100 on signal strength.  Don't think anything changed at Fox6 except maybe the 9volt battery.

I have been successful in the past ... perhaps due to climate.

From the front page link, here's what I have noticed:

From my Menomonee Falls/Germantown location, most transmitter locations are between 118 and 121 degrees from me.

WITI lists as 93.8deg.

I'm betting that my past reception success was due to winds blowing my roof-mounted antenna magically to 93.8. I've since lost it by swinging the antenna around to get WDJT to come in.

The antenna and rotor are now out of sync. Hopefully I can get up on the roof and coordinate them again. If so, I'll report back.

Thats strange.   I know someone in Cedarburg who also commented on the improved signal.   So 3 of us see a change.    It could be atmospheric conditions but I have seen it improved for over 2 weeks straight now.   It was not that good when they switched to HD initially but about a week later it improved.   Someone else might know more.

will have to check when I get home, but Larry from KemmerTV insists (and I have no reason not to believe him) that I have no chance of getting WITI with my current aiming until they move to the main tower. You guys are getting my hopes up but I will likely get home and get nothing.

I agree the "shakiness" has disappeared since they switched to 720p.  Thank God!  I also noticed the signal got stronger maybe a week after the switch.  Maybe the transmitter is pointed differently or something.  If others are still having a hard time with their signal, it must not be on the main tower yet.
