The VHF stations are both located at 201 degrees (All others are spanish or rebroadcast on other channels).
The UHF stations are spread out from 153-176 degrees (23 degree spread).
I think I'm failing to understand what you mean by the stations being scattered?
Can you please explain to me why I would be better off with a single beam style antenna vs the two separates I listed? I don't just want to buy something, but I want to understand why it is better. I know antennas can inter-fear with each other if that is the reason? Are you thinking I should get the single antenna with a rotator so I could rotate between VHF and UHF?
I was almost thinking I should buy the VHF (YA 1713 ) and another beam style antenna for UHF because the stations are so clustered and not spread out with each other? I just figured that if the Bowtie style would work, it would be easier to position. But if I should go with a single then that would be an even easier install. I just hope it picks up UHF stations located at 153 if I have to point it at 201-230 degrees (The previous owner has it pointed to 230 for some reason). It will likely need to be pointed directly at 201 degrees (or more) to GET CBS and ABC (VHF) because they are both listed as 2 edge signals).
Here is my house, if I have to point the UHF antenna at the hill, is it simply not tall enough to be blocking such that the stations are still considered LOS as listed by TV fool?
