Thanks John and Billiam,

John - I don't mean to be a pain. It's easy to get twisted.

Billiam - Thanks for the added input. It's always good to here someone know the area.

I was only bring up two antennas vs. one due to the suggestions that came up on hdtv antenna labs i.e.

The Suggested Dual-Antenna Setup: Pulling the Most TV Networks

* AntennasDirect 91XG (Read 91XG reviews)
* AntennasDirect C5 (Read C5 reviews)
* Preamp: Required
* Rotator: Required


Expected performance (very rough estimation, LOS assumed)

* Displayed on the map: 41 stations delivering programming from 8 TV networks
* Stations in range: 28 (WLLS-LP, WNNB-LP, WJPW-CA, WFMJ-TV, WWBP-LP, WBOA-LP, WKHU-CA, WNPB-TV, WKBN-TV, WYTV, WEMW-LP, WJAC-TV, WQVC-CA, WBPA-LP, WBYD-CA, W61CC, WPTG-LP, WBGN-LP, W65CG, WTAE-TV, WQEX, WPCB-TV, KDKA-TV, WPGH-TV, WPMY, WPXI, WPCW, WQED)
* TV networks in range: 9 (AmericaOne, , NBC, CW, CBS, ABC, MyN, RTV, FOX)
* Unreachable stations: 13 (W52DS, WSSS-LP, WTOV-TV, WVTX-CA, WYFX-LP, W29CO, W45BT, WFXI-CA, WWCP-TV, WWKH-CA, W41AA, WTRF-TV, WWVW-LP)
* Unreachable networks: 0 ()

The Alternative Setup: Single Antenna Solution Pulling the Most TV Networks

* Winegard HD7698P (Read HD7698P reviews)
* Preamp: Required
* Rotator: Required


Expected performance (very rough estimation, LOS assumed)

* Displayed on the map: 41 stations delivering programming from 8 TV networks
* Stations in range: 25 (WFMJ-TV, WWBP-LP, WBOA-LP, WKHU-CA, WNPB-TV, WKBN-TV, WYTV, WEMW-LP, WJAC-TV, WQVC-CA, WBPA-LP, WBYD-CA, W61CC, WPTG-LP, WBGN-LP, W65CG, WTAE-TV, WQEX, WPCB-TV, KDKA-TV, WPGH-TV, WPMY, WPXI, WPCW, WQED)
* TV networks in range: 8 (NBC, CW, , CBS, ABC, MyN, RTV, FOX)
* Unreachable stations: 16 (W52DS, WSSS-LP, WTOV-TV, WVTX-CA, WYFX-LP, W29CO, W45BT, WFXI-CA, WLLS-LP, WNNB-LP, WWCP-TV, WWKH-CA, W41AA, WJPW-CA, WTRF-TV, WWVW-LP)
* Unreachable networks: 1 (AmericaOne)

BTW - I'm assuming I will not need motorize (rotate) the antenna once I install...correct?

thanks.
