Is your NM + or - 9.6? Is this with antenna gain/preamp noise figure or without?

2 edge plus 9.6. So it is in the red.
After viewing his TV Fool report the odds of obtaining reliable reception of any of the Columbus stations is slim. Occasionally there are exceptions to the rule though. I have a friend north of Minneapolis, MN that is getting reliable reception of a Wisconsin station that is 2 edge and showing a minus 8 or so NM.
