Thanks. I'll try moving it higher and a bit north and see what happens.

The image now has '45 deg' turned off (I never knew that switch even existed), and you can see that the strong local stations skim over the neighbor's roof, but it's actually well below the antenna, even with the pin moved north as it is in this shot. And the weak stations at 250 mag. clear the deciduous tree less than 100 ft away, though there are trees further away.

Ideally, the DB4e with h-vhf kit mounted to a tripod on the roof along the same line would probably be a big help, but that's not going to happen. It's not an HOA thing - it's a WAF thing, and the Telecommunications Act of 1996 doesn't cover that. And we're not staying here much longer anyway, so I'll leave the attic installation of TV and FM antennas for the new owner as a selling point.
