Actually, this is relatively easy to estimate. If you enter TVFool
this way (the maps option), you can drag the reception location marker to exactly over your location, then experiment with different antenna heights. Each time you click away from the box where you enter height, the predictions update. The formatting's a little funky, but you can figure it out (pay attention to the NM values). If you employ a pre-amp, then your cable losses will be essentially zero for the lengths you are contemplating.
