Thanks

Unfortunately, I don't think my wife will go for a 100 ft antenna in the backyard. But I do appreciate the advice. I'm going to try adjusting the tilt of the antenna and perhaps experiment with some temporary locations not on the roof that are on the north side of my property using a temporary pole.

After further research, it appears the stations I'm not getting are broadcasting at higher elevations (> 600m), while the ones I do get are at slightly lower elevations (500m-600m range). This may explain why I get some and not others, based on how these signals bend over the ridge before they get to me from Pittsburgh. And it could also explain why the ones broadcasting at higher elevations are successfully bouncing of the ridge behind me and giving me spotty signals, whereas the others do not.

I'll try and respond if I have any success with any new layouts.

Thanks Again!
