The dipole is approximately unity gain (average) in the high-VHF band.

In theory, that should take you down to a noise margin of near 0. However, practice usually doesn't match theory, usually due to unconsidered factors like interference and higher noise floor in VHF.

The other thing to consider is that the TVFool NM numbers for 1- and 2-edge signals are highly variable as to their accuracy.

I'd try it, but I'd also keep my expectations tempered.

I've used it in a location where TVF said my NM was -1 on a VHF 8 channels, but I do have a few toys that help me overcome some common obstacles.
