I do. Your weakest of the main networks is NBC with a noise margin of 55 dB. However, watch out for foil backed insulation that could block the signal.
Does your new house have a hip roof or gable ends? If gable ends, which way do they face? If gable ends, is the insulation foil backed on the roof but not the wall? If you have foil backed insulation on both gable walls and roof decking can you remove the foil for several feet in front of the best location for your antenna?
Aiming through gable ends is preferred here in the Northeast where snow can accumulate on the roof. I don’t have experience with Arizona roofs.
