GroundUrMast ,

Glad to know I'm going in the right direction.

It appears my sight line to Sutro Tower goes right through a Extenet Micro Cell tower along a public road. I have email to Extenet about my TV reception concerns.
The HDTC-2US reports unlabeled "auto" Signal Strength
of 70% on RF 58 , RF59, RF 60 and RF 61.

When I point the 91XG 15 degrees off line of Sutro
RF 44 Signal Quality improves.
But RF 29, RF 43 and RF 45 Signal Quality goes down

(left of redwood tree to ridge)
91XG + RCA TVPRAMP1R + 100ft RG6 + HRTC-2US

29 100 69-71
43 100 85
44 100 90
45 100 81

RF 44 channel specific interference? Even when coming from same tower it can happen

My best roof location can point left or right of the big redwood tree.
When I get a better mast I will try adjusting the antenna height. Will 6 inch increments
be a good starting place ? Maybe I will go back to pointing right of the redwood tree with height adjustment. I read the articles on stacking identical antennas to manage multipath
interference. That will be a last resort.

Once the above resolved, I need to deal with NBC RF 12 which is Signal Strength 87 and Signal Quality 60.
The Y10713 is really compact compared to my old 10 foot Radio Shack antenna.
