If you look at your report, then you can see that KTVE does come from almost due north.

Let's try a hunch: do you get KETZ 12.1? It's real RF channel is 10, so maybe your TV is getting confused? It shouldn't, but one never knows.

Questions:

What channels do you get?
What model Terk antenna do you have?
Is the Terk amplified?
Do you have a pre-amp in line with the outdoor antenna?

You antenna is roughly the equivalent of the RCA ANT-751, which should work for your local stations. The questions above are to help trouble-shoot your setup.

If you want to see is additional antenna height will help you, re-do your TVFool analysis via the "start MAPS" option. Be sure the receive marker is pointing at your location (drag it to the right place, if necessary), then enter different antenna heights in the box below the map. Every time you click away from that box, the reception predictions will update. Pay attention to the NM values to see if they get larger (a sign of stinger signals.)
