An interesting phenomenon that happens of varying degrees in hilly/ low mountain type areas like where you live.
The hills/mountains block direct signal reception.
However the angle of reception from Mt Wilson as an example.
The signal strength of the Tv signals.
The frequencies also known as Tv channels.
And the closeness of the Tv signals to the earth as the Tv signals are traveling from the transmitting antenna to your receiving antenna.
As the Tv signals travel across hills/low mountains the Tv signals are 'Bent'.
And the Magnetic 'pull' of the earth , 'Pull' the Tv signals down.
The effect is Variable.
And Also Changes with the Height and Location of the Tv Antenna.
The CS2 antenna is small and will make a good antenna to probe with.
The CM4228HD is also a good antenna.
Probing both outside and inside.
Finding signal hot spots and signal cold spots.
A long length of coax can be used to move the antenna around.
------
At the Tvfool home page , click on >>Start MAPS<< and enter in your address.
In the antenna height above ground , box , enter in different antenna heights from 1 foot above ground and higher.
And see what happens to signal strengths of the weaker and stronger Tv signals.
------
You can hold the antenna in you hand and use a short mast pipe to probe with and , Home Depot and Lowes have 10 foot lengths of , Top Rail , chain link fence Pipe , the price is low dollars.
