Yeah I got the antenna up and is now about 2 feet, right above the very peak of my roof. It is regular tab roofing on that part and is also the highest point on my property that I could mount something right away and try. I did get allot of snow on-screen (marching ants as my daughter puts it), when I faced south of my location and gently swinging south to south-east and south to south-west (very slowly back and fourth) yielded only slight changes in quality but none worth writing about - even though I guess I am..... after many failed tries and before conceding for the night, I swung the antenna clear around to a northerly direction. We have a second more distant repeater station facing that direction. I was able to pick up 1 digital channel pretty clear (CBS) and a second analog channel not so clear (KPTV Fox 12). So at least I know I have decent connection continuity with the setup I did. So tonight I will have to try something else.

So do I need to worry about elevation as well. In other words do I need to point the boom of the antenna higher into the sky maybe...

thanks again
