Yes, ADTech is correct; difficult, but not impossible.



I see these channels on you report; some easier than others:

KCFW NBC, real channel 9, Noise Margin 29.9 dB, 11.3 mi, 191 deg true/178 deg magnetic by compass
K24ID NBC, real channel 24, NM 12.1 dB, 14.8 mi, 119/106
K12LO CBS, real channel 12, NM 6.9 dB, 14.8 mi, 119/106
KAJJ CBS, real channel 39, NM -2.5 dB, 11.3 mi, 191/178
KTMF ABC/Fox, real channel 42, NM 17.1 dB, 1.4 mi, 276/263
K51HT CBS, too weak
K48EO CBS too weak

It is the real channel number that determines what antenna is needed.

VHF-Low, real channels 2-6
VHF-High, real channels 7-13
UHF, real channels 14-51

I went to rabbitears.info and entered my estimate of your address. If you click on the callsign there, you will see the networks. The callsigns will be listed in virtual channel number order, not strength as in a tvfool report.

Then I added Strength Search and antenna height. That gave me this in decreasing signal strength order. I deleted your street address.



Then I went to the tvfool interactive map browser to see the green signal lines.'

If you mount your antenna at the right spot, the tree behind the house to the south will not block the 191 or 119 path.
