AntennaWeb may not be accurate

It is if you are in rugged terrain. A half mile can be the difference between being in a valley with access to a couple stations and being a 1000' higher on a ridge with access to a dozen stations.

Big difference if AntennaWeb has you down the road where the elevation is 960' when you are actually up the road at 1,320'. AntennaWeb uses the Longly-Rice signal propogation method which takes terrain into account.

I tried the site but couldn't get it to work. Put in my Longtitued & Latitude but nothing happened. Am I doing something wrong?

I put in Lat 34.126605 and long 117.179598 and changed the magnetic declination to 14.0. Clicked Find Stations and nothing happens.

I guess that DB is not updated for your location either.

Snoozer, how many miles did you put in? Also the Latitude MUST in a NEGATIVE number.

Try putting in:

34.126605
-117.179598

and 50 miles.

I got 24 stations within 50 miles of your location.
