Practical experience has shown that the ambient noise level in the high-VHF band may be anywhere from 5 to 20+ dB higher than the assumption.

Ah, yes; I forgot about that for a moment. The noise level at my location does reduce the SNR of my VHF-High signals.

Try aiming the antenna towards Bigfoot and give it a scan.

Good idea. You should find something at 119 deg; if not now, then later with a preamp.

When reporting results, it's only necessary to name the first channel on a station, listing the sub-channels only clutters up the report with info that doesn't add anything to the technical conversation.

Yes, then it would look like this:
250 degrees I get the following channels:
26.1 K26DD TBN (listed at 276 deg true)
34.1 KMJD ANT TV (276 true)
46.1 KUKL PBS (191 true)
at 180 degrees I get:
23.1 KTMF ABC/Fox (The KTMF-LD translator is listed as 276 deg true)
The main transmitter for KTMF in MISSOULA, MT is on real channel 23, virtual channel 23.1 (listed as 170 deg). The KTMF-LD translator in KALISPELL, MT is on real channel 42, virtual channel 42.1.
