Thanks for the photos; they help a lot.



You have a problem. Your antenna will not be in the clear. The neighbor's house will block the direct signals.

The antenna could also go in the corner up on the hill, but not sure due to WAF.
The antenna needs to be located where the signals are strongest, not where your wife wants it.

Do I need to be above the neighbors house?
Yes, for best results.
Quote:
And what angle would be best to align the antenna to?
Your signal report says 132 to 161 degrees magnetic. If your antenna was in the clear, I would favor more to 132, but since it isn't, the signals will come around the other houses in a way that is difficult to predict. I suggest you mount it in a temporary way without drilling holes to see what you can get.

The alternate location viewpoint looks a little more promising.
