Based on your plot as presented, I wouldn't give Jeff City much of a shot. If you have a fairly clear view down the river valley, then you should get a number of the St Louis stations.
Do add a pre-amp, perhaps our PA18. If you necessary, that one can easily be run off a 12 volt battery or supply with a small effort.
I'm somewhat familiar with your general area having grown up about a dozen miles north of this location.

Thanks for the reply !! Where did you grow up? I've been down there for 40+ years. As to the lat and long I hovered over the spot on Google Earth and its at the end of the trailer where I originally had the antenna clamped to a cedar tree. Before Dish we could always get Jeff City and sometimes Columbia. If we turned the antenna we could get KTVI. The farm is actually sitting in a fairly deep bottom. I wouldn't be beyond adding a vhf under the rotor and pointing it at Jeff City. I guess I'm in for a little trial and error. Did I say will be mounting with a rotor?
