Hi,
I live in a subdivision in Canada where a large TV antenna would be an unwelcome addition.
Unfortunately I live at least 60 miles from the closest tv tower.
As a compromise I installed a Winegard FL6550a on the roof (30 feet high) and aimed it to the southwest (between
110 degrees and 150 degrees).

I think due to the height of the antenna (30 feet), the elevation of the home (I can see over 20 miles to the south), the fact
that the FL6550A is amplified, and the straight cable run from my antenna to my TV I am able to consistently receive:
CKWS-DT (11.1) CBC
WWNY-TV (7.1) CBS
WPBS-DT (16.1) PBS
WWTI-DT (50.1) ABC
During periods of Tropospheric Ducting I am able to also receive:
WSTM-DT (3.1) NBC
WCNY-DT (24.1) PBS
WSYR-TV (9.1) ABC (and METV on 9.2!)
WSYT-DT (68.1) FOX
I very much would like to pick up
WSTM-DT (3.1) NBC and WSYR-TV (9.1) on a consistent basis but I am 99 and 101 miles away from them AND cannot place a large antenna on the outside
of my home.
Question 1) Would a large antenna in my attic provide me with any improvement in receiving WSTM and WSYR? Or would it just be a fools errand?
Question 2) If a large antenna would provide me any improvement in receiving WSTM and WSYR. What would be the best antenna for receiving
the UHF channels of 17 and 24?
Many thanks!
