also, my 42 will be turning on a translator close by, so I'll get all the networks I want.

thanks for the confirmation though.
Getting the right status of stations is a tricky business using the downloadable versions of the FCC's database. This site does an admirable job trying to keep things straight, but there will be glitches.

THANK YOU EVERYONE for the input!!
For your stations off to the NE, it's more of having elevated terrain about halfway between transmitter and you. As such, you're below the radio horizon for these stations and have to live with whatever scatters over. To see particulars, click on any station in the list to see the elevation profile of the path. The station is on the left end and you're on the right end.
