" TVFool results for 30 and 40 ft height were way better than for 50 ft when I ran it. Not sure what that meant."


That's why seeing the report would help people to understand your situation. And allow them to make more specific recommendations. A long range solution for you maybe totally wrong for someone else.

There's more to it than mere distance and antenna gain ratings. The terrain profile, ground effect reflections, tropospheric effects/reflections the list goes on.

As you have seen height makes a difference, and the TVFool reports does not know anything about trees, near by buildings or other local objects that can cause reception issues.
