Rabbit73,
I sincerely appreciate your assistance. This forum is great for someone like me who is trying to get quickly get up to speed by picking brains.
I was a bit disappointed that I'd need an 11' antenna rather than a 3' antenna (I'll probably get over it!

. I don't see a lot of antennas around here and hope to be somewhat inconspicuous as possible with what I put on the roof.
So now I'm wondering if the other post from Newburyport, MA was far off-base when they used (apparently successfully) an RCA ANT751R and no amp, or if they somehow simply lucked out. Here's the link:
http://www.avsforum.com/forum/25-hdt...g-antenna.html Unfortunately the TVFool signal analysis is not included with the listing. I'm new to town, but don't believe that Newburyport has any substantial differences in elevation. Any explanation of the differences in our advice?
Thanks again!
Bill
