Thanks for the advice. I do have a pre-amp on it - channel master 7778. I don't think the 7777 would make much difference, since its a weak signal/mulitpath that I need to overcome (not signal loss from antenna to TV). Need to do some more experimenting with the vertical angle tilt. What is the easiest way to acheive this tilt, since the bracket wants to attach it at 90 deg to the vertical mast? The best way? I saw one on A-tech fabrication website, but expensive.

After a bunch of tries with the XG43, I returned it. Do think the XG91 is actually a better performer? The AD specs claim it only has 1 db higher gain than X43, even though the boom is 50% longer and the reflector a little bigger.

Yeah.....I need all the luck I can get in order to see the Superbowl in HD.

Your thoughts are appreciated.
