Thanks for the pictures, they are really helpful.

By the way, fantastic view! My family lived in the bay area (Mill Valley and later, Mountain View) from 1966 to 1978. Always loved the rolling hills of the bay area. Still come down to an A's game when I can. I digress though...

You are pointing literally into a hillside mere feet from your antenna. Is that the heading you need? If so, the ANT751 doesn't have much chance to catch a signal there. Do you have the ability to raise it up at all or are you bound by a homeowners agreement? If you can't go higher, the ANT751 is probably the wrong antenna for your application in my opinion.

Is that hillside the ANT751 pointing at on your property? If so, I might go pick up a 100' drop of coax and climb up near the property fence with the yellow house and see if I can get a better line of site then temporarily place the ANT751 10' above ground and see what it receives, that'll give you a chance to capture more signal.

The key to your successful reception is giving the ANT751 or a higher gain antenna the best shot at catching the most signal.

I don't want to get into a discussion about any other antennas at this point because due to the close proximity of that hillside, even a high gain antenna is going to struggle to capture signal.

Your first order of business is getting higher either on your roof or using a higher point on the property that has better signal access.
