Glad to help out.
I enjoy PBS as well. I have three separate PBS's I receive so I'm slightly spoiled, lol.
With the negative db signal strength of WCBB (-2.2), If I were installing the antennas at your location, I'd go in assuming I wouldn't see it when the Winegard 7698P goes up. If I see, then pleasant surprise. At my location, I have several negative db signals. I've never been able to decode any of them. Keep in mind this is with a Antennas Direct 91xg and a TVPRAMP1R.
My goal was for you to at least have a chance for a PBS. At 6.2db WENH is by no means a strong signal, but out of the three PBS's you may have a chance at, it's the one I'd try for first due to being the strongest.
If you wanted to do the system in stages, buy the 7698P, get it installed. Dial in reception. See if you get the results you want. If not and PBS is elusive, then go after WENH.
In weak areas, your actual signal strengths may vary a bit from your TVfool plot and may be better or worse.
Just have to get in there and start working with it!
Good luck and check back with a report.

I'll be going with a mast, especially since I have unavoidable tree trouble from the attic. In defense of attics, it was the best of all possible attics as the signal only had to pass through 1" of always dry wood.
I especially like the idea of going for New Hampshire Public Television's WENH RF 11, as I have only distant trees in that direction.
Thanks for your help.
