Many are 50 ft. taller than the peak of her roof ! The East & Northeast are relatively clear of trees, but still in a very low area.
I appreciate any help & suggestions that you may provide . Thanks !

Hello, Esteban. Thank you for the TVFool report.

TVFool reports are not as accurate as they used to be, so please do a report for her location using a report from rabbitears.info. I use coordinates when requesting a report.

Is her antenna actually 50 ft above ground level?

I did an estimated rabbitears.info report based on the TVFool report with the antenna at 30 ft above ground level:

What are the callsigns of the stations she is able to receive?

If you can give me her address in a Private Message, I can look at the trees in the signal paths.
