They must be in that oddball county in KY that gets Tri CIties locals. But I know WYMT isnt on satellite even if they could get LEX locals
Yep. The next county to the south gets Knoxville, and the county to the north gets Huntington, WV. Everybody else around gets the Lexington, KY channels.
While I know you have 2 edge, the fact its on VHF helps. When I lived at the lake house (in Northern Minnesota) my CBS (KCCW 12) was 56 miles away, 2edge and 13.5NM on tvfool. I used my Y5 7-13 VHF antenna and it worked great. Now my 2edge is probably trees and not the mountains...but I would think it would work efficiently enough for them to get the local news and any local (Kentucky) sports they want.
I went to their house yesterday to give it a try with an old Phillips SDV7400K (
I'd estimate about 6 or 7 db gain) that I bought several years ago to use at my house, and a little Element TV that I use as a computer monitor. The signal meter isn't that great on the TV (Bad, Poor, Normal, Good, Excellent), but after a while at 20 ft I was able to pull in WYMT with a "Normal" reading by pointing it at a hill about 150 degrees from the transmitter. I had to do the same thing at my house (
but closer to180 degrees) to get a signal that didn't bounce up and down all the time. From the specs, the Stellar Labs antennas have much more gain and bigger F/B ratio, but I wonder how they are at rejecting side interference.
