Tv Antennas and Tv Reception

The reception of the longer distance Cleveland and ect. Tv stations/channels is because denser and lighter layers of air can act as a funnel for Tv and radio signals and funnel the signals over long distances. Tropospheric Propagation. Tv DXing , Radio DXing , http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TV_and_FM_DX. DXing will happen often but is not a 100% reliable way to get reception. DXing is a popular hobby for many people.

You can receive some but not all of those Toledo Tv stations reliably if you will install a much lager antenna Winegard HD7698P antenna , 40 to 60 feet above ground.

Yes you can improve the reception that you have now with the ANT751 antenna that is a very good antenna for your reception situation and add a few channels by moving the ANT751 to above the roof and aim the ANT751 at about 200 degrees magnetic compass.
Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html .
Use a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp with the ANT751. The CPA-19 preamp will supply signal to 3 or 4 Tv's.

Here is the Federal Antenna Law that says Yes you can install a antenna above the roof. HOA's are well aware of this Federal Antenna Law and they are required by Federal Law to comply with it. http://www.fcc.gov/guides/over-air-r...n-devices-rule.
