Hello StephanieS and thanks for your reply.

I have four fixed antennas on my roof. One is a home made 4 bay pointed towards Boston, MA, the next is a home made 4 bay pointed towards Providence, R.I. These two antennas are designed to pull in VHF high and UHF, because the whiskers are longer and spaced further apart then a UHF only antenna. This providence antenna brings in WLNE 49 real, WJAR 51 real, WPRI 13 real, WNAC 12 real, WLWC 22 real, WRIW 50 Real, WSBE 21 real, WPXQ 17 real. WWDP Real 10, does not come in since I removed my VHF high only antenna out of service, but used to come in when I did have it in service.

WTNH 10 real, you can forget about that one, no one in eastern Connecticut can get that station since it went digital, before that when it was on VHF channel 8, it came in here pretty good.

I rely on WLNE from Providence, R.I. for ABC, WPRI for CBS. WFSB has come in here, but there is a very critical area where their signal is viewable for me. For instance, moving the antenna 15 feet to the north of its current location, WFSB comes in better, I am not 100% sure of this, but I do have a house, whose roof area is equal to my antenna height in the direction of Farmington, CT. I have used Google Earth to draw a line between my receiving antenna and the tower of WFSB in Farmington, the line passes over this house in question, I have been attempting to raise my antenna above this house, however, it is still tough, without climbing the poll to tell if I have finally over towered this guy's house.
I know they occupy their attic area as a living space, evidence is sky light windows in the roof always being lit with lighting.

The other Farmington towers such as WTIC are right behind this house, however, their RF power is a lot stronger so they easily pass right through the house. I only have issues with co-channel interference of WCCT Hartford CT and WCVB Boston, MA both on CH 20 real and WTIC Hartford, CT and WFXT Boston, MA both on CH 31 real. This is when the skip is running high in the UHF band. However, WVIT 35 real is never effected by tropo here because there is no other RF CH 35 station in this area.

As for CH 33 RF, WFSB and WCBS New York City would never be an issue here, because WCBS is too far away to ever cause issues here. Not like it did when it was on VHF channel 2 in the analog days. My reason for having the Connecticut TV stations come in is mostly for the local news and weather, I currently rely on WVIT and WTIC for such, but would like to add WFSB to my line up.

WTNH, from what I've read is almost impossible for a lot of people in Connecticut to get now. I realize they are still in the VHF band, but they must have either lowered their power or changed their signal direction, because they are no longer receivable in a lot of areas they once served.
