I am excited as I draw closer to my chord cutting ceremony. I have been testing the signals in my area and am down to only one station that I am unable to receive on my "really would like to have" list. I am located in south east San Diego area and able to receive many of my desired channels without much effort. I anticipated needing more than one antenna as the three major broadcasting locations are all about 120 degrees from each other. I used an RCA ANT751 to bring in signals from two of the three locations. The third location is a greater distance (approx. 20 miles) and is on the other side of a small hill that I live on.
Below is the link for my signal analysis.

In the yellow section, you will notice my problem area. I have KMFB (cbs) and KGTV (abc) being broadcast from the same hill. I am able to receive the KFMB broadcast (good and solid picture) but I cannot get a trace of KGTV. For these two signals, I temporarily mounted my RCA ANT751 along with TVPRAMP1R pre-amp at about 21' on my chimney.
I have two questions.
First, does the data provided explain why I can receive KFMB well but not KGTV at all?
Secondly, is it likely that a better antenna (and pre-amp) and additional five feet to the installation height make the difference between none and acceptable reception for KGTV? If the answer is yes, would you recommend an antenna?
Thanks in advance.
