More input on this question:
I went out and bought a "rabbit ears" indoor antenna today so I now have more data. With just rabbit ears I can get many stations but many of them are not English language stations. Here is some data on some of the stations I am receiving and some that I'm not receiving ("Y/N"):
RX'd?...STN........Distance....Azimuth.(true.-.degrees)
Y.......KICU-TV........21.............87
Y.......KSTS............21.............85
Y.......KDTV-DT.......21.............85
N......KNTV-DT.......18............325
N......KGO-TV.........23............320
N......KPIX-TV.........23............330
Y.......KQED............21............330
Y.......KCSM............21............330
It seems strange that I'm not receiving KNTV, KGO, and KPIX ( NBC, ABC, and CBS respectively ) but that I am receiving KQED and KCSM ...because they are all at a similar angle to my house and their distance and power is similar. Perhaps mountains could explain KNTV and KGO (325 & 320 degrees respectively) but not KPIX which is at exactly the same azimuth as KCSM.
Thanks in advance for any informed input...
