This is my first post and I was hoping for a little insight on my future OTA setup. I am looking at building a GH antenna but I'm not sure which one would be best. I was thinking I would need a GH with Narods since channel 13 would be nice to have, but I didn't know if a regular GH would be able to receive it. Since I have so few channels available, what am I likely to be able to receive with an antenna? Are the channels spaced close enough together to be able to receive them with one antenna not on a rotor? With regards to the path, I understand the LOS reception and tropo, but how does the 2 edge affect things. Here is my tvfool.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Regular GH probably won't do. your 13 is coming from the opposite direction than the non-gray colored UHFs which leads me to suggest that you build one of the GH*n. They have more vhf-hi gain from the back than from the front.

Your non-gray channels are close enough, 2edge makes the reception uncertain, i guess, you'll just have to try. The gray channels are gray for area for me. (i dont get any of the grays in my tvfool)

Thanks for the help. I'll start looking into which GH with narods would be best.
