I am loving that they are showing NOLA channels on channel 349.

I get Nola channels. Do they have BR channels on somewhere?

My dish needs to be realigned, but thats my fault.

FYI, go to www.diytvantennas.com.

I made an antenna out of a 1x4 and balun wire, get all BR stations and NOLA stations in case of emercency. Have it mounted in my attic. It cost me less than ten bucks to make and works far better than any of the "powered" antennas you can buy at walmart.

I lost signal for about 5 seconds during a strong gust, but otherwise it's performing nicely.

I wonder if its because Hurricane/TS clouds are much higher in elevation than regular rain clouds and not interfering as much?

I expect it to go out once the heavy rain starts, if it ever does.

They boost there signal when it comes to bad weather. I was told that many years ago by them.
