Thanks for the input. I just don't see how I can get up high enough to clear the trees. Depending on how high the transmitter is, I may be able to run a couple of quick calculations to see if I can get up high enough, but not above, the tree to provide a clear path over the tree from the antenna to the transmitter. I see on the TV Fool report that there is an elevation profile, but it doesn't give me the actual height above see level, or relative height, of the transmitter. Is that available somewhere?
I also wanted to point out that the real problem tree only should be affecting NBC and ABC. I receive ABC no problem, but NBC I don't get at all. The signal for ABC is stronger, but not a ton, however, it's Hi-V as opposed to NBC which is UHF. Would that influence the antenna choice at all if I decide to change? Do you know anything about the HD Stacker from Denny's? Is it worth just staying with Winegard due to the history of quality manufacturing?
For what it's worth, the people in my area, which appears to be in an area of weaker reception for these channels due to the presence of a large hill, all seem to have larger directional antennas, most with rotators.
