Red channels

How realistic is it to expect to be able to pull in a channel listed in red?
I have a good antenna up about 30ft. with an amplifier. No matter where
I point I cannot pull in the signal. Is anyone here able to pull in a channel
listed as red?

Too many variables for a specific yes or no answer.

Post your TV Fool plot, identify the station(s) in question, identify your antenna and describe the rest of the receiving system. If possible, take and post a photo of the signal path to the desired stations as "seen" by the receiving antenna.

I've installed antennas where every signal was in the gray with NM values between -10 and -20 with good results. I've also been to locations where everything was green or yellow, but local obstacles, usually thick trees or a big hill, killed reliable reception despite everything being done correctly.

Please make and post a tvfool radar report and channel list.

Use the Exact location to make the tvfool report and channel list.

Make the antenna height in the tvfool report and channel list 25 feet above ground.

25 feet above ground antenna height is a reference antenna height that provides a good evaluation of what is receivable.

One Channel

What I should have done right at the start is see what I would be gaining
trying for that one last channel, but since everything is working perfectly
again, I decided not to mess with it. Turns out I don't see anything on that
channel's line-up that I even want. Thanks guys, if I do decide to try in the future I'll follow your instructions and post all the details.
