Yeah, once I realized he was trying to get the Gainesville NBC station, it clicked into place. I've been dealing with customers from south of Gainesville for years trying to get that station. IIRC,they (WNBW) had to have a sharp null to the SSE to protect another station's (WFTV?) old analog contour and they never changed their antenna after the other station went digital on UHF in 2009 and the requirement for the null was gone.
Trying for WESH's Ocala translator on UHF 24 is going to be tough (or worse). Guess what? They also have a directional antenna, a low power UHF signal, and you're on the wrong side of that one, also. You have a whole 57 watts in your direction from that one and it's 23 miles away.
You're probably going to have to go to a larger high-VHF only antenna aimed at WNBW and very carefully amplify the VHF signal. Plus, you'll have to optimize that antenna's location and aim just for that station.
