Based on the provided Tvfool reports.

Going to 40 feet antenna height above ground has no useful increase in signal strength.

And looking at the signal strengths at the 10 foot antenna height and the 25 foot antenna height , looks like a antenna height above ground of about 20 to 25 feet or so above ground will receive the receivable Tv stations with 1 antenna aimed in 1 direction.

Recommend install a Antenna Craft , HBU44 antenna above the Peak of the Roof in such a manner that the roof and building are not , obstructing , impeding , blocking , reception in the directions of , North East , East .

Aim the HBU44 antenna at about 30 degree magnetic compass direction .

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

The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the , OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations channels , often named the ~DTV Channels ~ Antenna Channels ~ Air Channels ~ in the Tv Setup Menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the Air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna .

As Always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative Effect on Broadcast Tv Reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and building .

Some and not all Negative Effects are

Absorbing , Blocking , Reception

Multi-Path reflections bouncing all around.

The Best Practice is to install the HBU44 antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception .
