steady 72 for Channel 13 as of this moment. 11:20 pm EST.
11 is 55 with some ribbons, but watchable. 11 is the lowest VHF hi at my location, always...
7 is 67 and stable. 7 has been the most consistent of the VHF-Hi stations.
Very odd that 13 is stronger than 7. First time I've seen this. In the past, with my broadband antenna, I've seen 98% on 7
The 4228 got covered with snow last winter, froze solid, and a burst took the now 25 + lb antenna down. I put it up on the two poles remaining (the third pole folded over) and lost signal strength on all channels...I'm behind some ridges and the 5 feet DID make a difference. Project before weather turns is to re-raise it, and if that doesn't work, buy a bigger antenna with VHF elements...although the CM 4228 worked just fine on VHF high before it fell over...
