Hello Whitestringray,

Your report would require an outdoor mounted antenna to be successful for NBC, CBS and FOX from magnetic 348/353. The issue you run into is signal strength and pathways to the transmitter. You are in 2 edge conditions with moderate/weak signals. A small windowsill antenna likely won't be enough in this situation. On top of this, you have both high VHF and UHF signals.

Your requirements at a minimum involve an Antennas Direct DB8e orientated to magnetic 350. This needs to be outdoors, with a clear line of sight to magnetic 350.

You may even need a second small VHF antenna for ABC on real channel 10. However, you may get lucky and the DB8e may receive it.

The bottom line here is no small compact walmart type antenna will likely provide stable reception of Hartford at your location.

Cheers.
