Arrgghh.. They are powering a nothing signal, they still suck, but I came to an expected result tonight. For the heck of it I grabbed a long piece of coax and took my RS Double Bowtie out the front door. Results? Channel 4 stayed at it's 100, Channel 58 shot up to a solid 100, and with a little work Fox 6 stayed at a constant 58. This is placing it on the edge of my porch with the closest obstacle the neighbor next door with a driveway between us. I would REALLY like to avoid having an antenna outside, but who knows what I'll do. Interestingly I lost channel 10 outside and can't get it no matter how hard I try. Bring the antenna back inside.. 75.
Oh, and for those wondering, Fox 6's upconversion leaves A LOT to be desired. Both 4 and 58 have much better upconversions.
