ONE more UPDATE;
I went out & raised the antenna another 8 - 10 ft to see whether it would help to have it mounted higher. The results were the exact same as in my last posts . I then rotated the antenna & rescanned to see if an antenna rotor would make any difference. NONE ! I was surprised. No matter which direction it was pointed, or at rooftop level , up to 10ft high, I could only receive those same stations.
I now believe that only if I upgraded to an HDTV , & replaced cables, would I get any benefit. Also, maybe mount the antenna on a 30ft tower, although I have talked to someone with a very good antenna, with rotor on a tower, gets no more than I currently receive. His is an older TV, too.
Either way, the experience has been fun & it was worth the $50 antenna[ slightly used ] to pick up an additional 4 channels &&& to boost the signal sof those I was barely able to get.
Thanks to all of you for your help & advice.
