Thanks for the report.

I am having a really hard time figuring out how to pickup CBS and Fox stations......I am a bit perplexed
I am perplexed too. The 7694 antenna is proper for your signals. You should be able to receive KOVR for CBS and KTXL for Fox, but the tvfool report doesn't take into account trees or other buildings.

As far as I can tell, it is pointing in the correct direction, which is approximately south west.
The antenna should be aimed at 180 degrees magnetic by pocket compass not smart phone compass.

One negative that I think is going against me is that the houses south of mine are higher, as I am basically at the bottom of a hill, with the higher part of this hill being south of my house.
Can you show us a photo of what the antenna "sees" when looking 193 true/180 magnetic?

Any trees in the signal path?

Are you using a preamp?

What TV are you using to receive the signals?

There are some strong FM signals that might be interfering with TV reception. See attachment 1.

I don't have your exact address, but if I estimated your location correctly, looking South shows a lot of stuff in the way. See attachment 2.
