Thank you guys so much for the quick & personal attention to my (actually not just my!) post!

It looks like you're really close the the transmitters, but still have a major terrain blockage in the way
|
yup, it's NORAD, or more accurately the mountain above it and the rest of Pike National Forest I guess..!

You'll have to decide if there are enough stations within reach to make it worth your while.

well, the ones I would like to get are some of the red, and the first 2 into the gray-all of the rest down not so much in fact don't care at all!

I noticed that you have used 10 feet for the antenna height.
|
Also, I am not sure if worth my while might not be feasible, in that as a novice I don't have a clue, but my place is unusual in that it is LITERALLY built into side of mtn., so I am confused figuring out feet above ground, etc.
What I mean, is the front of the house is a lot further down from the edge of the roof to the ground in front than is the back (or up side) of the house if standing at that edge of roof and measuring down. Not sure if that is any clearer description?

Did you try bumping up that number to see how far up your antenna would have to be to start catching signals?

So, I re-did the interactive map thing with a couple different #'s as to height, and they are:

also, a screengrab of hybrid map showing terrain for reference is attached below.
Oh yeah, we get some extreme wind and weather up here at this altitude occasionally, so that makes me wonder but I see 1 (yes, just 1) house in my neighborhood that has a large antennae on the roof, but sadly that lady passed away recently and it is vacant I think so I can't ask how it works/ holds up over time!
ok, thanks again.....truly a great service you guys are giving, for free..wow- outstanding.
