Should I aim my antenna between the two locations?

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...46ae566cdb4d31

I'm trying to receive ABC, CBS, NBC, CW and FOX which are all at 236d compass, but also I'd like PBS which is 263d compass. should I just aim my antenna roughly 249d compass? That would effectively bisect the angle between these two locations.

I'm using this antenna and its located in the attic of my two story home.

You can start with that aim & fine tune if needed.

Are you seeing PBS at all now? How many sets are connected? Any amplifier in use now?

Yes aim the ANT751 antenna at about 249 degree magnetic compass direction.

Here is how to aim antennas , www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antenna.

As always , the starting antenna aim direction is the --> starting antenna aim direction.

The antenna aim can be adjusted for best reception.

Most Digital Tv's have a , Signal Strength Meter , and , some Digital Tv's also have a , Signal Quality Meter.

The meter/s are used to help get the best reception.

-------

As always , attics and the inside of buildings Are Not a reception friendly environment and Never Will Be a reception friendly environment.

If having reception issues that are not resolvable with antenna aim adjustments and antenna location adjustments in the attic.

Then move the ANT751 antenna to above the roof in such a manner that the roof and building are not , obstructing , impeding , blocking , reception in the directions of , South West , West , North West , North East , East.

The local Tv stations are strong to moderate signal strength at your location.

A antenna system amplifier should not required for , 1 , 2 , 3 , Tv's connected.

Don't hesitate to try pointing at 225 degrees.
You may very well pick up WETA and WHUT, along with the other DC stations.
In addition to Baltimore.

I'm fairly near you & I do. With a worse TV Fool report than you have.
