NOT NEW JUST SELDOM POST have been a member since 2013 as Soroco but had trouble with sign in so rejoined as Elkson Have built many of your ideas in the last 6 years with varying success Have just finished a 4 bay bow tie (M4) with a holey reflector 1x2 cut to back each 10 inch whisker the vacant space saved 1# The channels I receive 22 always 5, 17 often 2, 20, 30, occasionally 28, 39 heavy Tropo only. Thinking of putting a stealth hawk loop on top so when I sight antenna I will still receive 22 What do you think. 10 miles south of Sparta TN 38583 My tropo is black or purple from now to Sunday, I know TVFOOL says location is hopeless but the proof is in the watching.

Signal reports for weak signals can be very wrong. But, as you said, the tuner decides if the signal is good enough to be received at any particular time.
The antenna works but not as well as the Yagi a 20% loss of signal and will only pickup 22. Same location same height 30 mins to exchange. I gave you the general area for you use I have had an icon with my location on my computer for the last 6 years every time I exchange antennas I check for changes. The repack did not change anything here. Rotor has stopped working think I'll buy a 20 dollar lava style and mount my Yagi on top of it if it takes to long for me to repair it. My Yagi has a 14" folded dipole with 8 directors with boom mounted 1/16" above top and feed points 1/4" from end of boom.
