Hello, I have recently placed an antenna and am getting fairly good OTA.
I have a Clearstream 4V in a cupola above the roofline. I did remove the VHF unit which improved the reception. I have preamps and distribution amps. Getting about 4/5 bars on most stations and 3/5 on a few. The picture is good.
I am questioning whether an 8 bay bowtie offers me any worthwhile improvement- it should be able to fit in the space.
There is a set of towers at 350" which is giving most of what I want- WGBH, WGBX, and the major networks.CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox
Another tower at 317 gives me WSBE which I also like. That requires my antenna to be as high as it can go in the space but it's acceptable.
Here's my report- note there is a chimney which is about 2-3 feet wide directly north of the antenna in what seems to be the best path:

Thank you for your help. I've really enjoyed reading this site- actually more than watching the darn TV!
