congrats, ive moved the antenna literally 1 MM at a time, i all so know their direction from my home. and the channels in question are VHF for locals. WALB, WFXL and im not to sure on WABW.
ive tried standard rabbit ears with no amp (which is all that should be needed), ive tried amplified rabbit ears. and ive tried an »
www.p4c.philips.com/cgi- ··· -MANT940 which worked just fine prior to the digital transition. as i had to use it when the two towers got took down by a helicopter and they had a very low power emergency transmitter set up, when they got the new towers up they where full digital and couldnt get a thing.
i stand by my stance. if a person cant get the channel in the DMA with a standard set of rabbit ears then they should not be charged a retrans fee.
edit: forgot to mention, plugging in my address on antennaweb and selecting "no" to mast mount gets me this.
Due to factors such as terrain and distance to broadcasting towers, signal strength calculations have predicted no television stations may be reliably received at this location.
and they are in fact correct.
if i choose 30 foot mast i get 1 listed, WABW.
WABW-DT 14.1 PBS
RF Channel: 6
31 miles at 170° Red
oh, and according to "tvfool" WALB and WFXL are 26.2 miles, so closer than WABW.
