Yes.

I don't know for fact, but I've always assumed the 'ground' is represented at zero local elevation. With the Pinnacle Hill transmitters approaching 400 ft height above average terrain (HAAT), which I read somewhere when they used a 400 ft crane to modify WXXI's antenna to remove that off-center cross bar, a 20 ft high home antenna would eyeball-scale to 1/20th the height of the transmitter, at the center of the white. Which makes the home antenna barely above ground level, at least in the scale of those coming from Rochester. So that pretty much puts you deep in the shadow. Or so it looks to me. But even with 1-edge and 2-edge conditions, you
may be able to get some of those stations, though it doesn't look promising.
