Do you just want the DC stations, or DC and Baltimore?

Also, do you speak Spanish? (If you don’t, you do not need channel 6; it is being operated as a Spanish radio station.)

WJZ-FM missing from FM Fool?

I listen to WJZ-FM, 105.7 sports talk in my car. It is missing from a FM fool plot for my house. It is a Baltimore local, and it is listed on http://zipsignal.v-soft.com/ for my zip code 21013.

It does not look like there is much UHF to be had. I would stay away from a VHF/UHF combo. The UHF section will add weight and wind load.

Teleview,

What is your reasoning to install an 8 bay antenna instead of a HD7697/8 type antenna?
