In most markets, You find the transmission towers "Clustered" for example.
Top of the highest local mountain.. Studios may be scattered but transmitters are often within a stone's throw of each other.
Specific Example.. 3 Cities in Michigan
Battle Creek, Kalamazoo, and Grand Rapids.
Transmitters are all close to Gun Lake (in the township, near the lake).
So pointing your antenna in one direction gets 3 major networks and several channels and services (not sure about remaining networks).
You can find all of them on
The FCC Website.
Surprise!! WGVK - Ch 52.1 PBS Kalamazoo is really on RF Ch 5!
If I were staying at Yankee Springs and using a Jack, I would not expect to get even an extremely pixelated picture. With a Batwing, no problem.
