I thought I would post up some numbers for people looking for some information in my area. I bought a 4221HD and a Y5-7-13 along with the FM6 for FM stations. I finally got around to hooking up the 4221 and the FM6 over the weekend on my pole which is about 20 to 25ft tall. I think the antennas are about 20ft off the ground. I haven't tried out the FM6 but I have hooked up the 4221 and here are the signal numbers. I have the 4221hd pointed towards Raleigh. I have the Y5-7-13 above the FM6 which is above the 4221hd. It's possible there might be some interference or something due to the closeness of one another.
2.1 = 4
2.2 = 5
4.1 = 86
4.2 = 86
4.3 = 86
5.1 = 79
5.2 = 77
8.1 = 10
8.2 = 10
11.1 = 3-14
11.2 = 5-10
11.3 = 0-6
17.1 = 67
17.2 = 68
17.3 = 68
20.1 = 66
20.2 = 66
20.3 = 65
28.1 = 59-63
28.2 = 63
40.1 = 86
40.2 = 86
50.1 = 52
50.2 = 53
I've noticed that anything less than about 60-65 there are some break ups in the signal. I'm thinking of trying either a Winegard HDP-269 or a Channel Master CM3412 as I'm not sure what the signal strength will be like after I split the signal to my other tv. The cable run is about 40-50ft.
Depending on the direction I have the 4221 pointed, I could pick up 11.1 through 11.3 but the screen would break up as the signal was in the 40s I think it was. I'd like to get everything around 80 or above as even in the lower 70s sometimes the screen would break up. In order to get channels 2.1 through 2.3 along with 8.1 and 8.2, I'll have to pick up another 4221 and point it towards Greensboro.
Thanks for the help in selecting antennas. This site has been very helpful with all of the information that's provided.
