Mistake. Some channels come in, but not the range advertised (hence my title). Plus the motorized rotator does not hold the antenna steady in a breeze. Sometimes I find it pointing in a slightly different direction.
So here's the particulars, I live in Ventura, CA, 93001 by the coast.
I'd like to receive the LA stations for the major channels, but if possible also the local channels to the north (Santa Barbara, etc).
Here's my analysis:

Though I am a bit skeptical because it shows the L.A. stations at 70 miles away as only needing " An indoor "set-top" antenna is probably sufficient to pick up these channels"
Any recommendations would be appreciated. |
The Antennacraft HBU-33 or HBU-44 would give you all of the signals from Mt. Wilson highlighted in green and yellow... Except for the audio only KUHD-LP on real CH-6. If real CH-6 is a signal you would like to have, then the HD1800 or HD1850 makes sense. (Some of the weaker signals highlighted in red may be received but a larger antenna would be indicated if that's your desire.)
KCOY is blocked by terrain. I see no realistic hope for reception of it. KEYT is still possible... I'd start by aiming the HBU-XX that direction to see which signals are strong enough to be seen. From there, you can decide if you want to add a second antenna, and which type. There are several ways to integrate a separate antennas into a usable system:
