OK, I have the antenna temporarily attached at the very top of my roof, around 40' or so. I am shooting right between a pecan tree and the magnolia.

I do not have the pre-amp or a splitter on it right now.

I am currently picking up most of the channels in that direction. Some of them will pixelize every so often.

Pretty strange - I am picking up 18.1 really good. The chart reports it to be 141.5 miles away.

Will any additional height make any difference in reception? Also, will the amp make a lot of difference?

The reception is very finicky. I can turn it very slightly, and lose some stations completely and gain others....

But overall, pretty pleased with the performance of this monster!
