To have a look at increased signal strength , make 3 more tvfool radar report plots , 25 and 40 and 60 feet.

Even at 15 feet antenna height the Digital Tv Transmissions in the Yellow and Red zones of the tvfool radar plot report are receivable.

Agreeing and adding to the thought,

I'm not convinced you need to go higher... Perhaps you'd be able to use a bit smaller antenna, but by putting it at a height you're uncomfortable or unable to work at, installation and future service will be made far more inconvenient and presumable more expensive.

I would try installing a large antenna at a reachable elevation. I can always add mast or tower if needed.

The , 25 , 40 , 60 , feet antenna heights are for a look see at the signal strengths.

Roof top antenna height of about 25 feet above ground will more then likely be all that is required.
