Thank you for the info and the very interesting links GroundRfMast and Rabbit73. So let me update you on my thoughts earlier this week.
Since I cannot get channel 2, I decided that it is simply not worth the fight at this time. Yesterday I talked to a friend of mine who lives on the other side of Kingman and recently dropped satellite. He is limited to just a few channels with his XG-91 UHF antenna and cannot get a CBS station. I told him my of my success with my antenna getting KLAS CBS 8.
He said that if he can get CBS with the HD5030, he would buy it from me. I agreed to that.
Here is his radar plot.

Earlier this month, I helped my friend find a good location and then install the XG91 antenna. With me raising, lowering, and aiming the antenna and him holding the TV, the two of us tried but could not get any signal from any of the stations in the true 133 direction. That includes channel 30, what should be his strongest channel. We used three different antennas (his XG-91, my old CM 4221, and a home made GH) in many different locations around his home looking for a hotspot. Now we will do it again with the HD-5030.
Here is the handheld
http://www.amazon.com/Haier-HLT71-7-...ier+television TV I use. It has a coaxal input for the antenna and is ideal for finding hotspots. So this weekend we will see what VHF stations we can get at his location.
Thanks again for the help. Both of you had excellent suggestions with counter arguments I haven't thought of. Lets say I haven't given up yet.
