Wow, thanks for the quick reply.

The mount is going to actually be up the side of the building. Roof peak is at 25' and I've got the pole from my dad for free, just need to add one more section. He got a 40' ham tower, but running his signal analysis, it doesn't really help him; probably terrain issues.

The roof is metal and I don't want to put any more perforations in it, so up the side works and I can stand on the roof to put the last section up.

The HBU11 is lower gain than either of the large ones I mentioned. Is that all I need because of the LOS? Will I still get the stations at 227°?

You mention Fox. They are a -10.6 NM and at 178° How will that get pulled in?

The other thing that is strange is that my dad pulls in PBS channel 8 with a -10.6 NM. Is this due to the antenna gain?

What about the combo antennas? My dad has an extra rotator I can have for cheap.
