it worked somewhat but not a great improvement. I think it's just the fact that it's too darn long no matter what.
Everything's pretty solid regardless. I can say i'm getting every station at 70-80% now with exceptions.
WGRZ now drifts at 28-50%. It's varies greatly and goes nuts half the time which is disappointing considering it used to be one of my most reliable stations. Guessing it's extremely directional. I moved antenna slightly east to get Toronto better.
I saw faint blips of CIII, but for some reason it's on channel 65-2?!?! CITY a little more solid at 40%. SUNTV going in and out, but I can see PSIP now. (28-33%) FOX and CITS better around 40%. No dropouts. ION and WNYB on and off randomly. Seems to be tropo-only. No biggie.
Overall I'm satisfied with my reception except WGRZ, i wish it was more stable. I don't want to move my TV downstairs although with no doubt that would help tremendously.
Thanks for the help everyone, I think i'm mostly good now. :) (although some help with WGRZ might be nice!)
