Tv Antennas and Reception

Yes the Tv transmissions at your location are STRONG and the off axis transmitters should be received Ok. Many people think that , because of the numbers of the broadcast Tv channels 2 thru 69 that all of the channels are consecutive one right after the other. This is not true. there are large gaps in the frequencies between VHF Low band 2 thru 6 , VHF High band 7 thru 13 and UHF 14 thru 69. and this is why tv antennas look the way they do , with shorter metal receiving elements for UHF and longer elements for VHF High and even longer elements for VHF Low. , http://www.hdtvprimer.com/ANTENNAS/TVfrequencies.html
