For those "Philly" stations consider a Yagi or Parabolic.....generally the
gain on those are 7 to 10 db....look up "Yagi Parabolic antenna gain" on
Google. The Yagi is highly directional....normally has a 15 degree lobe for
reception, great if you have all your TV stations located on the same side
of town like Fort Wayne does......
Helps to limit reflections in closer areas...but with Digital transmission
does that really matter?
