The math says the third location is empty.

The first and second might get something with a deep fringe Yagi or 8-bay plus a low noise preamplifier. You might have some luck there (or even at the third site) by aiming at an opposite valley wall to see if you can get a usable reflection.

Tough spots, prospects aren't particularly good.

CBRT uses a highly directional transmitting antenna that sends minimal power back towards the mountains: http://www.rabbitears.info/pattern.p...on=0&erp=373.4 In addition, its tower is only 840' high (4912' ASL) and the antenna has a 0.6° downward tilt to its main transmission lobe. that means that even less power is actually going towards the 9000' peaks and that the TVFool calculations are way too optimistic.

A computerized coverage area map is at http://www.rabbitears.info/contour.p...90506000&map=Y Unfortunately, it also does not include the vertical elevation pattern of the transmitting antenna, either.
