Any chance of me getting fox? It looks like channel 49 krbk is the strongest at -24 and tropo.
KRBK on 49 is very weak and Tropo; it will never be reliable. It is also 79.4 miles away and the curvature of the earth will block the signal.

So is the math: -24 + 14 = -10 which is below zero, so this is impossible?
The math is a little more optimistic:
-24 + 14 = -10 NM
-10 + 16 preamp gain -2 dB preamp NF = +4 NM
on a good day and if K26GS has been attenuated

BUT

KWBM 31 carries Fox as a subchannel simulcast of KRBK if rabbitears is right and the tvfool report is wrong when it says MyN
