Thanks, Tower Guy. (No power here for a couple of days due to terrible electrical storms, that's why I didn't post sooner.)
WTEN for us is channel 10, not 26, but maybe that distinction doesn't matter. We are picking up 6 (CBS) fine right now even with bent elements...no problem. I just thought maybe straightening them would help with NBC (13) which fell off the earth so suddenly.
Any kind of tower is not likely for us; we're not going to go to those extremes for a little TV. I would probably throw in the towel and go to a satellite dish or cable rather than erect a tower, but thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks, too, for all the antenna and converter box ideas, but you have to realize you are dealing with a dummy here. This is way over my head (again, no pun) and I would need some help to interpret all this info, but thanks. I can barely change a light bulb in my house
