Go back to my recommendations to you. You need an antenna like a Winegard HD7696P or similar at 25 feet for those stations. You can only bank on the VHFs from Mt. Wilson.

When you experiment with trying to get the LA stations, do you tile the antenna up, so that it looks more towards the top of the hill?
What are the similiar ones of Winegard HD7696P that are in local retail stores and easily returnable?

With that single pole rabbit ear antenna on the portable DTV, I had it horizontal and adjacent to the mountains and that giant hill/small mountain blocking the transmitters for KABC7 and KTTV11. For channel 31.x, I think it didn't matter since it was 0.5 miles away.

The other antenna was rabbit ears with that circular antenna in the middle that you place on the table/CRT TV/whatever flat and big.
