My house is oriented such that I can install above the roof (~30ft above ground level) with a clear view across the street from 240° (WSW) through 0° (due North), with no obstructions of any kind for 150ft within that arc, nothing at all above the roofline for hundreds of yards. I also have an extinct chimney at the west side of the house where I could mount a tall mast with a large antenna with minimal "discussions" with my wife, but there is a large stand of 50ft+ trees *directly* behind it, so I'm leery of how they'd affect incoming signals. Is that a valid concern?
Also, I need to feed FIVE televisions, but only two of them are HDTVs. However, one of these is in the basement rec room ~40ft below the highest point of the roof. The other three are on the second floor, and I'm wondering if it makes sense to run dedicated indoor antennae for them, or maybe a smaller/weaker outdoor antenna for each, especially when I start thinking about cable, preamps, splitters, and my time running cable and climbing up & down ladders...
Anyway, is there any chance I could get all the high VHF stations from both Baltimore and DC from one antenna without a rotator?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts on my situation.
