My TV Fool report is located here http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...e2cb1cae9a850b

We are neighbors. I live in Danville.

I have a HDB8X-NI antenna for the UHF channels and there is an old VHF/UHF antenna in the Attic pointed at 293 mag. I plan on mounting the UHF antenna on the roof where I located it in the TV Fool report pointed at 205 mag.

You can see the list of channels I receive here...

I receive all the channels you are trying to tune. I think you could receive WMTW in Portland, too. That is an ABC affiliate that carries a Heroes and Icons sub.

My antennas are in the attic. If you are going to put the UHF antenna on the roof, why not put the vhf antenna on the same mast? The HDB8X-NI is probably a good choice for UHF (I use a DB8e). You will be able to receive WMUR and WENH on just about any VHF antenna pointed in the general direction of either. (I can get WMUR and WENH or WENH and WMTW but not all three without moving my VHF antenna.)

I use an RCA TVPRAMP1R pre-amp to join VHF and UHF antennas. Then I amplify and distribute using a EDA-2800.

Thanks for the Help.

I shoot through red pines -- ever green and ever swaying. You should be fine.
