Maybe sometime next spring...when the weather is warmer and I could actually put in a new foundation for a mast...I will go on a hunt for the "sweet spot" around my house. I have long extension cords and a small TV. I could wander around the yard and see if anything works better. As I am on a hillside, going uphill would probably work to some advantage, but only testing will tell the whole story.

I could also set up something attached to the side of my house...that would be the easiest way to gain height, but before I do that...I need to test. I'm guessing that I can't gain enough height by itself to get all the signals I would like. I need to find a sweet spot...if one exists nearby.

This brings to mind a question: How long a cable run can I accept? IOW, how far from the house should I do testing? I'm on a hill with a 10% grade. I could go 1,000 ft to the edge of my property and gain 100 ft in elevation. Yeah...a lot of testing to do that, but there must be a limit to the cable length I can run. Does anyone know what that limit is?

Thanks for your help!
