Yup, it never comes in during the summer, even 20-30 years ago when it was analog. Digital actually helped it; it stays on longer in the spring and comes back sooner in the fall. I gain maybe a month or more on each end.

Not quite getting that last image. Where is Rochester and/or the transmitter?

After the FCC Repack of UHF channels, WHEC will stay on 10:

WHAM will move from 13 to channel 9, so you will need to rescan:

WXXI will move from 16 to 22:

WROC from 45 to 21:

WUHF will stay on 28.

This is all news to me, when is it supposed to happen?

The only things I can think of to improve your reception would be to move your antenna higher to a location that doesn't have trees directly in front of it, or mount a smaller UHF only antenna on a tower to improve the reception of your weaker channels and combine it with your present antenna for VHF using a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner.
I'm okay with what I have, and I can live without FOX for 4 months or so every year which is the only channel I lose -- if everything is working properly. Plus I have a ROKU stick so I can get way, way more than I even want to watch.

Thanks for your comments and help!
