[QUOTE="Guest, post: 101814"]Hello everyone. It's me, 'unregistered guest'. Thanks for your patience. I'll try to answer the ?s posted. I tried the paperclip and while I got some channels, I got fewer than before and did NOT get FOX or CBS. I do not have a clear view to the Sutro Towers, they are behind me. I sit about halfway up the hill on the uphill side. The house is pretty long and the TV is near the front (street side). One of the questions was how far the antenna is off the ground. Well, that's tricky to answer since i'm on a hill. If I draw a straight line out and then down to the street level it's probably ~40-50ft. Since we're on a hall, it's perhaps only 25 to dirt below me. As for where it is in my actual apt, it's about 4' off the ground. Hope that helps. Their is another tenant on the floor right above me. The walls are plaster but there are massive bay windows right near the TV and directly by the antenna.
