I appreciate the quick feedback. Yes, most definitely, I would run temporary coax up there first (for the Clearstream 4) before doing anything permanent. I guess I can assume (once I do a test) and assuming it checks out okay...that I wouldn't get any surprises later? Perhaps, there's no way to really know that for sure. But I would sure like to think (hope) that a test would give me typical day to day behavior with that setup.

Here's an active link to my tvfool report (below). As far as a signal meter, all i have is the built in signal meter on my TiVo premiere. And I understand all these non-professional devices are like trying to compare apples to oranges. But I do find them helpful when comparing the placement of an antenna, even though it's not like a professional signal meter. Thanks.

Btw- I ran this tvfool report with the default setting (for elevation of the antenna). I believe that first report (image) was ran with 10 feet above ground.
