I've looked for an answer, but...

New at posting here, not new at radio. For starters, I've got a Channelmaster CM-2020 ant with CM-7777HD preamp at 20 feet, running through less than 100' feet new, decent coax. I'm trying to receive WXEL (RF CH 27 at my location on the N shore of Lake Okeechobee, FL. It rarely comes in, usually at night. Please see below link, then the link within to WXEL file. I can receive VHF HI and UHF stations at similar distance running lower power, thus am puzzled why WXEL is such a hard catch. FL is a relatively flat state, so I don't think terrain should be an issue.

TVFool reports are no longer very accurate because they use a database with many errors. Please do a signal report at rabbitears.info for your location:

WXEL sold its license in the FCC Repack. It is now a guest (G) on the WPBT host transmitter (H) which is 97 miles away in Miami.

It looks like PBS is hard to get at your location. W31DC on real channel 31 is a translator for WPBT:
