Hello, the problem with that is the charts do not relate to my current location and signal strengths.
Here is one with 60 Feet above ground.
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...5b94cd2a0ee2b2
First of all, ground level here is a tough call, my house is built into a hill. The front yard is a slanted hill, while the back of the house is partially in the ground and the back yard is higher then the front yard by roughly 10 feet, so which elevation would I use? Front or back elevation?
Second, TVFool does not work correctly if I use 60 Feet above ground, it lists stations that are full time 70% signal strength stations (Using a homemade coat hanger 4 bay antenna outside on the roof) as being tropo to edge2.
WBZ-TV 30 real Boston, MA and WGBH-TV 19 Real Boston, MA come in at 70 to 75% signal strength 90% of the time and WUNI 29 Real, from Worchester MA is listed as 2edge, however it comes in here at 80% signal strength 100% of the time not using any type of signal amp. Those are only a few examples.
I did both examples at my current street address.
The magic number 210 feet is the only number I found works best in this application for accuracy.
