[RTC List] OTA Antennas - HD and SD local broadcasts

[William Van Hefner]

Jim,

I live near Hodgson & K Streets in Eureka, and have no problem picking up
digital channels for KIEM, KVIQ, KBVU or Fox 29. I haven't been able to
pick-up Channel 13, probably because I am using a UHF Yagi for reception.

Am really surprised that you don't better reception where you are. I'm in
a bit of a ditch where I am. I don't have line-of-sight of anything. You
should be able to see Kneeland from your front yard. What kind of antenna
are you using?
