</span>Thanks for the link! Sadly I am in a valley and even with an ~37' out side<br>
antenna all Atlanta stations are shown as "Edge" at TVfool. Actually get<br>
most of them well enough except channel two which fades out at times. Played<br>
with virtually running my antenna up to 60' with none improving to line of<br>
site.<br>
<br>
BTW channel 14 may be based in Rome but they broadcast from near Waleska.<br>
Still probably the most distant station for many, but my closest and only<br>
line of site station.<br>
