I just discovered by clicking on each channel on the list given on my report, I can see the terrain and how it impacts the signal. I questioned whether it was even possible to receive WMFD (12) to the north with a series of tall hills immediately north of my location. The dual antenna in opposite directions was something I hadn't considered. I'll look into that. Fortunately, the view to the south where most of the broadcast towers are is much less hilly.
Thanks for your input, GroundUrMast, and yes the mast (2" pipe) is grounded. Old phone guys always pay attention to grounds!
I looked at the other antennas you mentioned. Geez they're long! I didn't realize until I looked at the specs just how big they are. The 8 array bowtie and oven rack design is pretty big too at approx 40x30 inches. The friend I mentioned is a coworker who also does satellite tv and antenna work but I wanted all the info I could get. This forum looked like a great place to start and I appreciate your help.
Thank you!
