I'm still here, Dagwood!
I was just waiting for others to post with suggestions that might help you. It was good to read rickbb's reply.
rabbit73 is back in the saddle here, although it's been a while since he posted. He said he had lost his password, but was finally able to log back in. So, look for him again somewhere down the line.
Tower Guy??? I hope he's still alive and well. Perhaps just waiting for a thread he feels he can contribute to with helpful advice. My best guess.....
As far as your situation goes, like rabbit73 has posted before, this OTA stuff still has its mystery's! Maybe the TV gods have enhanced your inversion layer because you've been a good boy lately--LOL!
If I can think of anything else, I'll certainly post here.
In the meantime, Svengoolie is on MeTV tonight, oh boy!!!
