Ok , Aim the C5 antenna at about 300 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

The C5 antenna is designed as a VHF high band channels 7 thru 13 antenna.

The C5 also receives UHF band channels 14 thru 51.

______________________________________________

The following Tv stations/channels are to the north west.

WBTW-DT Real Digital VHF high band channel 13 , virtual number (13) CBS and Antenna Tv and MyNetwork.

WPDE-DT Real Digital UHF channel 16 , virtual number (15) ABC.

WWMB-DT Real Digital UHF channel 21 , virtual number (21) CW and CW+.

The C5 antenna must clear the roof of the house for reception to the , North West and North East.

And any obstructions that are in the way of reception , will reduce reduce.

It is Only 1 antenna for now , the C5 that you have.

The second antenna - if it comes to that - will be a UHF only antenna.

Try reception with the C5 antenna that you have First.

FIRST aim the C5 that you have at about 300 degree magnetic compass direction to start.
