Yes. According to your tvfool analysis, the Huntsville stations have about the same signal strength as the Nashville stations even though they are about 75 miles away. The terrain obstruction along the Nashville path must be worse.

If you look at the Azimuth column in your tvfool table, all the Huntsville stations are at around 164 degrees (almost due south), and the Nashville stations are at around 11 degrees (almost due north). There are more Huntsville stations in the "pink" zone than Nashville stations.

A good rooftop antenna should be able to pick up most of the "pink" stations. The trick is trying to get both Nashville and Huntsville stations at the same time without having to reposition the antenna each time. I think the two antenna solution suggested in post #4 above (one VHF pointed north, one UHF pointed south, and a pre-amp), would accomplish just that.
