Help With Reception - Eastern Kentucky
We just purchased a Antenna Direct Clearstream 4V Antenna. Right now we can get WYMT, This TV, WLJC, ION, Qubo, ION Life, Shop, QVC, Home Shopping Network. Can someone tell me if it is possible for us to get WKYT, WLEX, WDKY, and WTVQ. Our zip code is a Campton, but we actually live right off Mt Parkway Exit 53, 10 miles from Campton.Below is our signal analysis. Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Welcome, Hall_78:
We will need a more accurate tvfool report for a good analysis.
Please go here to the interactive map browser and move the cursor to the antenna location.

I don't see them listed on your report.
http://www.rabbitears.info/search.ph...pe=dBm&height=
WKYT CBS CW real channel 36, virtual channel 27.1
WLEX NBC MeTV real channel 39, virtual channel 18.1
WDKY Fox real channel 31, virtual channel 56.1
WTVQ ABC MyN real channel 40, virtual channel 36.1
If you know your exact coordinates you can use them; they will be shortened in the report, or you can send me a PM with the coordinates.

Thank you, I see it now.
The first 3 channels look possible, but you lost CBS and everything below it.
The terrain is really bad.
Try some more reports at 25 ft and 50 ft.

Thank you for the coordinates.
Do not use the zip code for new heights, it isn't accurate because of the rough terrain; use the coordinates.
If you want to protect your identity, delete the coordinates in post 7.

Our 25ft reports don't match because you used 37.72*** instead of 37.74***

They still don't match; did you use all the digits after the decimal point as in post 7?
I'm not trying to be fussy, it's that a small change in location makes a big difference in the signals.

Our reports are closer now. The distances and azimuths match, but the NM numbers are different.
Looking at the Google map and tilting it, you seem to be in a valley surrounded by hills.
I might send you a PM to confirm your location, but as of now you will probably need to try a high gain VHF/UHF antenna like the Winegard HD7698P in different directions as high as you can get it, and a Channel Master 7777 preamp.
An alternative would be an MCM VHF yagi like the 30-2475 or 30-2476 aimed at a VHF channel like 7 or 12 and an Antennas Direct DB8e with both panels aimed at 21 or 15 to avoid using a rotator. The antennas would be combined with a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner before the preamp.
It doesn't look very promising; you might have to do cable or satellite TV.

Right now we can get WYMT, This TV, WLJC, ION, Qubo, ION Life, Shop, QVC, Home Shopping Network.

WYMT CBS This TV CH12 NM 6.7 dB
http://www.rabbitears.info/market.ph...&callsign=wymt
WLJC Religious CH7 NM 34 dB
http://www.rabbitears.info/market.ph...&callsign=wljc
WUPX ION, Qubo, ION Life, Shop, QVC, Home Shopping Network CH21 NM 19.5 dB
http://www.rabbitears.info/market.ph...&callsign=wupx
I think you are doing pretty good if the "V" dipole of the C4V is picking up WYMT.
