connecting TWO 50ft Terk extensions?

I currently have a SIRIUS antenna on my roof that runs through the attic & is then connected to a 50ft TERK extension. This TERK extension then runs directly to my SIRIUS radio in a living room. I would like to possibly relocate the antenna on the roof in order to try to get a full 3 bar signal (I am currently getting 1-2 bars & some rare occasions of signal dropout).

One option I have thought of is to get another Terk 50ft extension. Can TWO Terk 50ft extensions be linked together or is that gonna make it too long of a wire to deliver the signal to the radio properly?

I think you can run two of these together with minimal impact on reception. The antenna you have on you roof is it pointed north, you may try pointing it south now that Sirius has the geostation sat up that may give you the boost you need.

Yea, my current antenna is pointed north and the new location I want to put it at is facing south for the reason you state...newer satellite.

I used to get a FULL 3 bars with my northern pointed antenna. But like I posted, I'm now getting 1-2 bars for some reason & am thinking it has to do with this new geostation satellite that I have read went up. Luckily I have a nice big open & clear view of the southern sky from my roof. Hence the reason I want to essentially try running the antenna to the opposite side of the house in hopes of getting that FULL 3 bars signal back. But also need an additional extension cause removing & re-snaking the current extension through walls to the south facing roof line is not really an easy option. Adding an extension would be MUCH easier. We'll see.
