Signal report and window issue.

I am in Washington State / West Coast USA

I placed the kit is a plastic tote box.

Setting up with a wild guess aiming the antenna South an a random angle I had 7-9db. After reading the manual I adjusted it and now get 9-12 DB regularly. This was with my full system is on the back porch.

I brought it into the house and pointed it out the window (at the same angle) and my signal dropped to almost nothing (all the way down to .5-1db and less). This was only two feet away from the outdoor location.

I have high energy efficient coated glass in the sliding glass door. Don't know if this is why. Anyone else have a problem like this?

I will be looking at more permanent outdoor antenna mount soon.

Does any know how long of an extension cable that can be added to the antenna without degrading the signal too much.

Thanks
