It's funny. Using tvfool's map, I zoomed into my lot, placed my marker on my current fence post antenna at 10feet, and got CHAN to show at -6.8 dB.

Then I put the marker on my roof , about 30 feet high), and it shows CHAN at like -7.5 dB.

So, it's almost like better to keep it at my fence post antenna location than going on the roof the house... weird...

Also, I played with the height setting at the fence post location and if I set it to 20 feet, my dB when down to like -7.2 dB...

Weird, eh? Guess in *some* rare situation it's better not to have a higher antenna... oh well...

some of this "picking up signals" is an art-form and not so much science (though most is science and math). eheeh...
