You are apparently in a hole or valley with a few hundred feet of ridge line or hill west of your location... getting the antenna high enough to at least start to get out of the shadow of that terrain is key to improved reception.

At 60' AGL your TVFR indicates there is some minor improvements, but not enough to expect dramatic improvement in total reception opportunity. What does 100', 200' and 300' look like? And if good conditions are found, would you in your wildest dreams consider a tower of that size?

Thinking of additional 'extreme measures', would you entertain the notion of a receiver at a hill top location connected via an internet link or long coax run?
