new member here. just curious if i need a preamp or not. my situation is as follows. zip is 49241 in hanover mi. i currently use a
phillips mant950 mounted 25 feet on an existing 40 ft tower. i receive very strong signals from uhf 38,51 and 57 i believe (all are
hd network stations). these are all about 20-25 miles away. the one station that i need to receive is cbs hd or uhf 59 which is about 43
miles away. i cannot even get a blip with my current antenna (though if i turn my antenna enough to the northwest i can get 8 hd
out of grand rapids which is 60 miles away, go figure) anyway i ordered and will receive today the cm 4228 but i did not buy a preamp for now. all 4 network stations that i want to receive are 23
to 43 miles away and from 8-28 degrees from the north out of the
lansing market. i do not think i will need a rotor. my run is only to one hd tv right now no more than 55 feet from the antenna. do you think the preamp would be neccesary or over kill. i have relatively
flat terrain. the only obstacle nearby is a 50 ft pine tree about 30 ft from the tower and in the general direction of the lansing market. i want to be able to watch the game sunday in hd . thanks.
