Let's keep this all in the same thread. Here is the post from the parallel thread you just opened:

That depends on how badly you want PBS on real Ch 3. There is a chance that 3 would come in on the VHF-hi elements of a smaller antenna such as the MCM-2476 aimed at WSET. Then you would need a...

In a nutshell, the "Repack" is an FCC plan to clear bandwidth in the higher TV channel numbers for more cell service. They held a reverse auction and some stations decided to get paid for moving to...

It looks like your TVFool Report is missing some data (namely CBS KMTV and Fox KPTM). Rabbit ears says the major networks (all but Fox) can all be received from Omaha at around 330 deg:

I would get a 3-way combo (VHF-lo, VHF-hi, UHF) such as the HD8200XL point it at 90deg to get your ABC on 13 (WSET). Since PBS is a relatively strong signal, it should be able to receive it also. ...

I have about two feet between my DB8e and 2476. They both work fine. Closer may be ok too, but you will be limited by the height of the reflector on the 2476. At one point in time, I actually...

If you're not interested in any of the UHF stations to the north, then sure, get a medium gain combo like the Winegard 7694P and point it south. You'll probably even get Real-11 on it. Another...

Yeah, you have the general idea. I don't think any of the green stations in your report are strong enough to cause overload. Especially since you are not pointing right at 247 (right?). So I think...

I think the insertion loss going into the pre-amp would be about the same as the 75-foot coax loss, so likely would not help much.

I don't have any experience aiming the DB8e panels in...

The CM-7777 has more gain than the RCA TVPRAMP1Z (30dB for the CM-7777 vs. 16/22 - VHF/UHF for the RCA), but it probably doesn't matter for your case. This is because of how a pre-amp works. It can...

The 7698P might be worth a try, especially if you can buy one with a good return policy. The other equivalent option (in terms of gains) is an 8-bay such as the HDB8X or yagi like the HDB91X (for...

Based on the 3D Google street view, it looks like the trees are tall, and less than 100 feet away, so additional height will likely be needed. Tilting the antenna up a few degrees might help. ...

This is not a good recommendation because you have no VHF-low stations. The large elements on the 8200U would be nothing more than wind-sails. Further, small RV antennas don't have the gain...
