Therefore the result NM would be 9+10-3=16 db.

Where did the 9 come from in that equation? Is that an average between the 7.8NM of KTWU and the 10.6 of WIBW? You said 16 db should work fine but the 3 db in the other example wouldn't. What target db should I bee looking for?
Like I said in the first post, I'm very new to this. What made you recommend the YA1713 and the 7777 preamp. Besides the specs, are there certain brands of components that are better (more respected) than others? I see the Winegard name mentioned a lot.
Thanks for the link on placement. I plan to read more of that site. But basically, I'm going to need a VHF antenna, a UHF antenna, and a preamp, right? What is the purpose of the preamp?
Is there a good way to know if this will all work before I purchase the equipment? Are the equations good enough? Is the 60ish mile distance even doable? I have a friend that lives in a city. He's getting HDTV with just an indoor antenna. I assume this is going to be more of a challenge for me because of the distance, right?
Thanks again
