In the short term, a 75' foot would unfortunately not be feasible. I can swing the labor (and the beer :-)), but I can't swing the $$$.
I noticed the other styles of antennas on this site, and just wondered if my 10' Radio Shack antenna wasn't cutting it. I could swing $100 for a different antenna if it someone had a reason that it would be better.
Interestingly, last night I was able to pull in the CW from a station way down in Connecticut. We were able to watch a whole show, but it drops out periodically. It's weird how signal strength seems to come and go with the digital signals. That channel and the CBS channel come from the same direction, and are tantalizingly close to be usable. If I can get them, then I've got all the major networks.
