Thanks again guys for the help! Thanks for the suggestion on the Dayton channels too. Down the line I'd definitely like to do a dual antenna setup to pick those up. For now though this is about all I want to spend as the initial setup is a nice chunk of change.
Here is a site plot, our house is boxed in red:
The trees to our east and south-east are pretty dense actually. The east side of our house is probably 30 feet from the trees. I'm thinking about mounting the antenna on the far west side of the house at the roof peak. It is a raised ranch with a pretty tall roof, so I'd estimate the height of the roof peak to be roughly 30 feet. Do you think that would be worth a try or should I look at my tower options?
I actually went ahead and bought a DB4e, CPA-19, and a Ronard heavy duty 5' tripod. That should be enough to get me started, for now
