500 feet antenna height above ground will do it.

--------------------------

I recommend start at your current antenna height.

With your current antenna aimed at about 240 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html.

--------------------------

To Test for reliable reception of.

WATN-TV Real UHF channel 25 , (virt) virtual number (24.1) , ABC.

WLMT-DT Real UHF channel 31 , (virt) virtual number (30.1) , CW and MyNetwork and Me-Tv.

Install a , Professional Grade Preamplifier.

EMCEE , PA-20U-75 .

PA=Preamplifier.

20U=20dB gain amplification of UHF channels.

75= 75 ohm coax input and output.

-------------------------

Can also aim the UHF antenna at about 340 degree magnetic compass direction and Test for reliable reception of.

WUWT-CD Real UHF channel 26 , (virt) virtual number (x) , America One.

WPSD-DT Real UHF channel 32 , (virt) virtual number (6.1) , NBC , Heartland and Antenna Tv.

-------------------------

The Tvfool reports show small improvements in signal strengths at the 60 and 80 foot antenna heights.


----------------------------------------

EMCEE also makes preamplifiers for the VHF channels.

To Test for reception of WMC-DT Real VHF low band channel 5 , (virt) virtual number (5.1) , NBC and Bounce Tv and This Tv .

Will require a separate VHF low band antenna and EMCEE VHF Preamplifier.

And can use a Antennacraft , Y5-2-6 low band antenna as a Test antenna.


---------------------------------------

The EMCEE web site is typical of professional web sites.

Not user friendly , because industry professionals already know what they are looking for , 'sort of' , in as much as they deal with the same types and kinds of equipment.

The VHF preamplifiers are not shown on the web site , however are available.

Typical of profesional web sites.
