OTA signals constantly vary in strength. Since they are so close to the "Digital Cliff" it doesn't take much change for them to drop out.

A Fade Margin of 10 dB is needed to allow for changes in signal strength, but those signals don't have it. |
Very interesting! I will study these charts.
She does get EVERY single station and channel from the VHF-H range and when I tweaked the antenna, she gets many at 100%.
I did install an RCA pre-amp that I had used at my place a year ago.
She mostly speaks Spanish so she's thrilled that she no longer has to pay Verizon/Frontier $200+ for local channels, local phone, and FIOS.
I set her up with Free Google Voice and a $40 obi200 device and got her down to $45/mo. TOTAL
