Just a note for any people reading this post who go for extreme range using different RV antennas (purchased or home-made), and adding additional amplification.
The best search tool that will show the map, transmitter locations, lines from RV location to transmitters, list of located stations, and station transmitter information, seems to be "tvfool.com".
Using in map version of locator works best for me. You can enter name of nearest town and state to start with. Then back off the map slightly to see where the campground location is found on the map. Use the mouse selector to hold and move the ICON to your location. The program redoes the station list.
Now the fun part begins. If you can now amplify signal to be around or more than 20 dB you will find way more stations than predicted in the list (10 foot antenna).
I now go to the Antenna input box and change input from 50 to 200 feet (depending on daylight or night signals). The list of channels grows to include all stations found by my system. There is a box to check for lines to show to transmitters on the map. If I get stations (digital) around 150 miles or more at night upping the antenna height number will make the program map and show stations found.
