The Wineguard Flatwave amped antenna picks up 31 stations but not the one I want, Chanel 11 PBS in New Orleans. It should be possible according to your site. It is indoors and I have tried facing the antenna in the direction that your site listed for my area and still no PBS. The antenna is about 15' off the ground. Our house is wooden there are high power lines outside on the other side of the street. All other channels look great. I have scanned several times over a period of weeks. I saw a review where it was noted they could not get PBS either, this was not anywhere near me!
Any advise would be appreciated.
Thanks

Please post a link to your TV Fool reception report.

I presume you are referring to WYES, real CH-11. The small flat antennas are best suited to reception of real channels 14 and higher.

The New Orleans market is a candidate for antennas that have both UHF and High-VHF capability. Consider the Terk HDTVi.
