[QUOTE="Fringe Reception, post: 92501, member: 4739"]Here are photos of my 'work horse' antenna that collects another dozen+ free channels beyond the channel-specific Yagis shown above.

In [I][U]my[/U][/I] situation, the trees don't interfere at all with my reception to the west but the garage was a problem when my antenna was looking at stations to my east. A six inch antenna height change can make a world of difference on this mast.
