Dish satellite TV is having a conflict with CBS and has dropped (supposedly temporary) CBS Channel 8 here in San Diego.
I put up an Over The Air receiving antenna to get the station back.

It is:

It work fairly well. It is at about 25 feet and is below my DB-18 SteppIr at 60 feet. I just noticed today that when I keyed my transmitter on 15 and higher frequencies, the picture dropped out and I get a "No Signal" indication on the TV.

Pretty sure the ham RF is overloading the antenna amp.
Would toroids on the TV feed-line help, work on the amp or just live with it?
