->ALL<- Questions and Answers about Broadcast Tv Reception and More.

Antenna height and location is Important.

The best reception will take place with the antenna at a height and location that has the least amount or no obstructions in the way of the directions of the Tv stations transmitting antenna.

Such as , trees , buildings , hills , mountains , and etc. .

Under the word Path in the tvfool radar report are.

LOS=Line Of Sight.

1 edge = 1 hill or mountain in the way of LOS reception.

2 edge = 2 hills or mountains in the way of LOS reception.

Diffraction is the bending of the Tv transmissions that come across the hills / mountains that are in the way of LOS reception.

Moving the antenna to a location that has the most diffraction will improve signal strength.

That could be moving the antenna 1 inch , up , down , forward , backward , left , right , Or moving the antenna , feet in any direction.

Or even further distance.
