I just went back on the roof and rotated it to the southwest direction (probably 190 or 200) instead of the southeast direction (156 to 170), and RF44 and RF7 are now MUCH better.
Any explanation why that would be the case?
There's still a little dropout with RF44 that I might try to adjust, but signal strength for RF33 (WCBS channel 2.1) is about 75%.
All of the channels are all less than 20miles away, so I would think anything in the general direction of the signal would be sufficient. Is it possible either the graph or chart are wrong?
NYC, where these broadcasts are located are certainly southeast, so I don't know...
I hate to say I'm reading the compass backwards, but I suppose that's possible too, even though I matched it up with a printout of the tvfool graph.
Thanks,
Dave
