Antenna height ?
On a related note, how reliable are the TV Fools signal numbers at different antenna heights?
For example, here are NM (dB) numbers at 5 antenna heights (same location) for a couple of stations about 60 miles away:
______________10'___15'____20'___25'___30' AGL
WKRC(#12 )____3.5___3.5___3.8___4.3___4.6
WLWT(#35)____2.3___2.0___2.1___2.4___2.8
It looks like I can get more improvement from changing antennas (gain) or pre-amp (noise figure) than I can from putting up a taller mast.
Any comments?
Also, from looking at which stations I receive and which ones are on the ragged edge, can I infer approximately how much gain I have in my current setup?
Thanks in advance,
Shorty
