John,
I redid the tvfool report using a 500 ft tower and the chart showed it picking up 0.5 on each entry on the NW (dB) and PWR (dBm) columns.
Chan 51 is a poor quality repeater from the Butte NBC station 46 miles to the north. I was getting a better quality link through my DTV test setup than the repeater provides.
You pointed out that 24 is much closer than the Bozeman stations. I hadn't noticed this.
I think the poor quality is because of the various mountain ranges between me and the transmitters. Butte is on the other side of the continental divide and the Bozeman transmitter sites are over at least 2 different mountain ranges.
Thanks - Rob
