rickbb: "If you click on the channel in your report you will see the terrain profile showing what is between the tower and your house. On CBS you are in a deep RF shadow and NBC is not much better."
Not sure where my location is on the terrain profile? Assume its at the very end of profile opposite the transmitter.

Tower Guy: In your case I would consider the AD 91XG or one of its clones for your UHF antenna
DARN....I placed an order for the MCM30-2430 about 2 hours ago!!!

jrgagne99: Is that cliff and the corresponding shadow from the terrain report real? The topography databases sometimes include trees, which although bad, probably aren't nearly as dramatic an effect as the terrain profile plots suggest.
Not sure I am reading the profile correctly...see above reply to rickbb

jrgagne99, I think he's after WVIT (NBC, ch35, 24 miles) and WFSB (CBS, Ch33, 28.7 miles) not WRGB (CBS, Ch6, 90 miles)
Correct....WFSB because transmitter is same direction as NBC and FOX (WTIC) since a rotor is out of the question.
