This is the tvfool terrain profile for KSBW. The transmitter is at the left; your location is at the right.

This is the KCBA profile. Note that only about 10% of the 19.750 kW of the transmitted ERP reaches your location because of the directional pattern of the transmitting antenna.

KCBA terrain profile using different software:



The MCM 30-2476 has a tilt feature. It might be helpful to tilt the front of the antenna up to catch the signals from the mountain peak.
