Unhappy Additional Information

Some additional information:

Each antenna location was chosen based on signal analysis from a hand-held spectrum tool. I don't have a lot of property or a large house. so there are some physical limitations as to where antennas can be placed.

The only channel that is not particularly sensitive as to where the antenna is located is WVIT (Ch 31). For all the other stations, the signal level drops dramatically within a foot or two (and sometimes inches) from where they have been placed.

The VHF antenna is on the northeast most corner of the attic. The East facing antenna is on the South End of the house (outside). The UHF Yagi is also in the attic, in the center. The North facing (Ch 23) is in the Front Yard!

If I had unlimited $$, (and a lot less age) I would put up a 100ft Tower with all the antennas on a rotor. An even better solution would be to sell this house and buy/build one on one of the local mountains
Alas, I have neither the wealth or the youth
