I personally don't think real channel 4 would be received reliably with any antenna given the distance & low transmit power.

Really is that the consensus of all?
Because I have a channel 4 (I think) WHBF about 77 miles away with 3dB lower NM and dBm values than these and I pull in a signal about 5-10% with a 30 year old ~ 5-6dBi old bent-up antenna craft/radiosnack combo yagi. I wanted rtv and I am considering building a custom cut yagi just for whbf real channel 4 . Then just yesterday I found this

Is whbf on vhf low 4 or uhf 47 or both?
Why is there only one listing on my tv fool report?
Oh and come to think of it my lcd computer monitor can interfere with the signal and the microwave oven also. So I'm almost sure I'm receiving the vhf low signal. But how would I tell if I didn't own a microwave oven?
BTW I have trees and have to shoot under very close high tension wires I have no splitters or amps and about 70 feet of coax and I don't have line of sight (two edge).
I think electron's suggestion is valid as long as the OP knows what the bigger antenna gives for the price and trouble that installing a larger antenna entails, then the OP can decide if the extra antenna is worth the trouble.
If I lived there I would hope to get wock and maybe even wlfm channel 6.(with a little extra effort)
But I'm not suggesting that bonline should go after ether of these.
