Just wanted to relay some initial observations after getting the UHF antenna up. Although my location is "blue" in the TV Fool charts, in practice the challenge was finding a good spot which wasn't blocked by the tree trunks. Make that "the" good spot, there was only one.
Channel 47 (KCET) is digital, I get a "lock" on it, and it is crystal clear. The remaining channels are from the Victorville translator, with color and sound, but varying degrees of snow. Those include 21 (CBS), 25 (NBC), 27 (Fox), and 51 (MyTV).
Reception was about the same whether the antenna was mounted right on top of the tripod on the peak of my single story roof, up until a few feet above it. I'd lose everything raising the antenna higher than that. One of my own tree branches was in the way. That will be dealt with. ;D
Photos and a full report after I'm done with all the tweaks.
