Hi,
I am in Calif. between SF and Sacramento. I have D* HR10-250 and CM 3020 for OTA HD locals (Sacramento area) mounted on roof with a 10' mast on a signal story house. Between 25 & 35 miles from towers. There are a few tress within 300 yards and rolling hills around the area. I pick up most channels with very good signal strength of 92+ except ABC's KXTV 10-1. The signal one day will be 89-93 with great picture. Then 25-40 the next day and unwatchable! I have turned the antenna every way possible with no success other than I have described. I can not find anyone in the area who installs outdoor antennas or who can give advice to this novice on what to do. Any suggestions on what is needed or recommendations on a professional in my area?
Thanks.
