All these stations are within 9 degrees of each other so I don't have to move the antenna at all. I also receive the local Mansfield station (real ch 12) thru the backside of the antenna. This was also part of the reason for going with the 4228HD, it's supposed cover upper VHF as well as UHF. Knowing what I know now, I might have chosen an antenna that had higher gain for real channel 46, my weakest station. It doesn't drop out that often but having an antenna that excels where you need it most is a good thing.
I'm quite new to all this stuff and enjoy reading as much as I can about it. Picking up distant TV stations when atmospheric conditions allow is a lot of fun.

I would like to get Fort Wayne stations at the least but I'm not sure a smaller antenna would allow me to do this. Maybe a 4228HD would make it more likely though.
I'm still learning too, I've never really messed around with antennas much, I've never needed to. I have everything in place, a J mount, RG6 coax running to a Winegard 8275 pre-amp. It wouldn't be hard just to swap it all out for something else.
