Note that a good number of the stations that the report says SHOULD be receivable are NOT (especially those from NYC and Albany). As I indicated, East is the only direction that I get decent signals from. Too many mountains to the south and north. I've even tuned in some Boston stations a couple of times this summer. I always though ducting was a VHF only phenomena!
If I point the UHF antenna to the North, I can just barely receive Ch 22 out of Woodstock. But then I loose everything else. I also thought about adding a rotor, but it looks like most of the decent rotor manufacturers have gone away...

What make and models?
What make and model? I am interested in FSMs and signal level meters (SLMs), and enjoy making measurements as you might notice in my signature.

The F.S.M. is a Channel Master Model 7275 leftover from my younger days (40+ years ago) as an MATV/CATV tech.

The antenna was moved to another location, and the signal was picked up during a scan and could be decoded:

I don't have a lot of property, or a large house. I did some measurements before selecting the mast location. Where the mast is right now is probably the best overall signals for the 4 reliable channels. There WAS another location on the roof that was slightly better, but WAY too close to the AC service entrance for my comfort.
Thanx for the reply.
