To re-cap I switched from that saucer multi-directional antenna and have a 108" long high gain UHF antenna sitting about 4 feet above the peak of my roof.

Have still 1 clear digital channel (CBS channel 6.1), and two pretty clear analog channels (ABC and KPTV Fox 12). The LOS channels, I can't seem to tune those in..... The TV Fool report says that channel 6.1 is not line of sight but its the only decent channel I have. Does my antenna need to go higher??? Or do I need lessons on reading azimuth better. I am pointing about 165 degrees toward the south-South East, but when you are up on a ladder and trying to hold the compass in one hand and pointing the antenna in the other, it's easy to loose track of just what direction is 165.

I also wish I could know the difference between a True and Magnetic reading.... That's a map to compass difference I assume???

thanks again All for your help!!!
