Thanks for the response and the good information!

It looks like my choices for an antenna locally are either the HBU55 or the HBU33; is it better to go bigger?

The HBU55 has a gain of about 9; that would mean that I'm looking at a margin of around 34 to 35 for my lowest signal? Do you think that's enough to go with an 8 way splitter like this one without the need of an amplifier?

My house has a hip roof on all sides, so I don't have a high eave to attach the mast to, but I was thinking of going with a telescoping mast longer than I need so I can keep each section from being fully extended. I would drill new holes and put bolts through to mount in the new, shorter location. Does it sound like I could do that with a concrete pad ground mount and a bracket to the fascia and not have to use any guy wires?

Thanks again,
Richard
