Tv antennas and Tv reception

WPFO-DT UHF channel 23 FOX is at 26 degrees east from north. The satellite image shows the trees are much lower and fewer trees in that direction. A space was cleared in trees for a house or two houses , to the north east of your house. With the antenna aimed at 26 degrees east , 41 degree magnetic compass , Yes Fox will be received. The group of tv stations that Fox is in will also be received. The tv stations , WMTW , WCSH , WGME , are much stronger signals to the north and will be received even though the antenna might not quite clear the tops of the trees to the north. Use the antenna mount you think is the best. If you use the tripod mount , install it on the north east end of the house at the peak of the roof. If it were me , I would be inclined to install the 10 foot tripod mount , I can climb on the tripod mount. It's a bit harder to climb on the chimney, it looks like a chimney in the satellite view. But then you have a better perspective , you are right their looking at the height and mounting situation.
