Antenna recommendation for Santa Fe, NM
Hi, Recently cut the cord with Comcast and looking for an antenna. I tried the amplified indoor (RCA 1450 BR) which didn't work at all, so looking at a rooftop mount, maybe a Winegard hd 7694p or RCA ANT751R. Advice appreciated, and here are the stats for my location:

You'll do just fine with a Winegard HD-7694P mounted on your roof aimed at 210 degrees compass heading.

For better reception of KCHF-DT 10 , I recommend aim the HD7694P antenna more in the direction of KCHF-DT 10 , aim the antenna at about 240 degree magnetic compass. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Read and understand about about , REAL Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , Virtual Digital Broadcast Tv Channels , Analog Broadcast Tv Channels , http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=695 Here are some tv guides , http://zap2it.com , http://www.television.aol.com , http://www.tv.yahoo.com , http://www.tv.entertainment.excite.com , http://www.titantv.com , http://www.tvzap.com. Most tv guides list the channels as virtual channels.

Unless you want to watch Christian programming, don't waste your time aiming at channel 10, aim at 210 degrees, and everything that you are looking for will come in just fine.

240 degrees magnetic compass is in the middle of stations to the west and south west. 275 degree magnetic compass to 211 degree magnetic compass. Aiming the antenna about in the middle will give the best signal strength of the stations that are to the west and south west.
