I pointed the antenna at 138 true (145 magnetic) to receive the Charlotte stations that are the farthest away (FOX-WCCB 18.1 & ABC-WSOC 9.1). Tower Guy and ADTech suggested that if I point the antenna at these stations I would get the other (closer) stations also. They were correct.

The only stations I was really worried about were:

CBS-WBTV 23 (3.1)
NBC-WCNC 22 (36.1)
IND-WJZY 47 (46.1)
FOX-WCCB 27 (18.1)
ABC-WSOC 34 (9.1)
CW-WJZY 47 (46.1)

and a PBS, I get WUNG 44 (58.1) & WTVI 11 (42.1)

Getting more stations than this, is just icing on the cake. As we have discussed earlier, most of the others are just repeaters.

If I pointed the antenna at 263 true (270 magnetic) , 234 true (241 magnetic) , or 170 true (171 magnetic) I might receive more stations but I would not receive all my local networks. Not receiving all my the major networks kind-of defeats the purpose of an antenna doesn't it? Or am i missing something here?
