You are in the shadow of the foothills and will be relying on diffracted signals. Don't be too surprised if you have to move the antenna a few times. Using the CJ mount's adjustable feature, tilt the antenna back so that the antenna is aimed up at the horizon to your north east.

Another advantage of the C2V is you can pick one up at almost any Walmart or Best Buy. Comes with a 20" compact mount in those stores.
Thank you for the advice about testing locations and tilting the antenna. Hadn't thought about either.
