Here are the
predicted channels at my location. The channels I get well (with continual fiddling) are bolded. Those that come in with poor reception are italic. Special note on ABC: this was the channel I received by facing the antenna south; it worked well as long as I didn't move around the room.

I also get Spanish channels and Christian channels.
In addition to walking around holding the antenna at crazy angles, I used the Google Earth TV maps and faced my antenna in the direction of most the signals (west). This didn't significantly improve any reception. The antenna was facing a large window/glass door of the balcony (small walk-out area--no additional interference there). There is also a fairly large window on the north side of the room, but not in the immediate vicinity of the TV. As far as the highways go, I am west of I-5 and east of the 409.
Again, thanks for any help!
