1) How did you aim your antenna so that it is "pointed just west of true north"?

If you didn't use a real, magnetic compass to point it to about 349 degrees I'd check on that. For experimentation I'd aim it directly at 349 degrees and re-scan (you may or may not loose the stations at 8 and 10 degrees, but worry about that later). It's odd that you can't pick it up with a strength of 9.0 dB.

2) When you contact WJFW you might indicate you're aiming at translator W27AU-D.

3) I've assumed that you have both panels of the DB-8e aimed the same way. I'd like an expert to comment about the possibility of aiming one panel due north and the other to 281 degrees for a shot at NBC affiliate WEAU-TV (real channel 31)
