[300ohm]

Have you tried NARODs with your SBGH in the attic ? You may be able to get Fox channel 8 with the NARODs, but I think the other two possible vhf-hi stations will require the antenna to be outdoors.

Do urself a favor...ditch the wally world preamp and get a real one.

So true. I bought that Phillips distribution amp from there a few years back and it overloaded the signal and injected a lot of noise in analog. Thinking it was bad I returned it. Same thing, then return it again and again until they had no more. All gave me miserable results, heh.

Would I get better signal with a wide flat element?

Post your TVFool image so we can know the signals your dealing with.

Im not seeing any of your TVFool images in those links yet.

Also are there any plans for a sbgh with narods?

Heres one plan of many:

You can adapt the newer models to this type of framework.
