Thank you for the reply,

Well I was thinking I would get feedback like this. I am on top of a ridge, no other buildings near me, all electric underground. As for trees, there is a small cluster both NW and SE, but start trending down hill, clear after that. I am thinking once the antenna is installed it would be above or at the top of these trees.

Since linking 2 antennas would be problematic, and running an additional cable to my tv's would be almost impossible, house had cable run to all points when built 2 years ago. I will now have to look at a rotor, or start out just pointing one direction. Would the SE be better, Nashville is farther, but higher in elevation, I have never been able to test pointing SE because the only window I can point out has a tree in the way. Currently the backside of my antenna is pointing to the center of the house and yet I can receive Nashville channels in the evening.

Wow that antenna is over 8 foot long, but if that is what it takes, but it is only uhf, don't I need a vhf/uhf? I guessed on a pre-amp for my test setup, would there be a better one to use for my situation? Also noticed it said a 60 mile antenna, is that something of concern?

Any other assistance is sure appreciated.
