My first suggestion would be to try a good discone antenna, assuming your
existing cable and connectors are in good shape.


A discone is not the worst choice.
But a Diamond X-5000 is by far better.
For sure a good coax cable will help much too. The RG58 is nearly the
worst cable for VHF/UHF. Get at least RG-213 coax or -even better-
AirComm-Plus. This will increase gain drastically by 2-3 S-unit wich is
up to 10 times more of signal voltage reaching yot receiver.
Use N-Connectors on the cable and get a short adaptor cable to connect
to your receiver.
