Are you somewhere far away or something? I haven't ever seen you post where you are from. Maybe I missed it.

Yes, I am far away... this is AlienAntenna.
I was referencing my reception anomalies through time and space.
For context: I am having trouble only with Channel 11 (VHF-12) but
Channel 2 (VHS-7) is okay.
I am thinking of building an Hi-VHS antenna and combining with current antenna.
a Televes LR mix .....
....OR, first try FM filter and other frequency filters. I say that because I lose VHF-12 weirdly. It comes and goes. Exact antenna direction seems irrelevant. One TV will receive but not the other, sometimes. Like it is being blocked electronically.

I dont know if this has filtering already.
AlienAntenna - Sounds like multipath. Hard to tell without knowing where your receive location is at.
I also had issues with channel 11, and I can see the tower from the top of mine. Seems stable now.
The Shackleford crap comes and goes.
I should be getting my HDHomeRun ATSC 3.0 tuner shortly. Hopefully that will clear up some of the crap.

KTHV has improved for me too. It went back to high levels for me on Tuesday but dropped on Thursday, just not as low as it had ben for almost 3 weeks:

I'm wondering what else might be going on. All the channels I got fairly well in the past have dropped in strength by quite a bit over the past few days. I thought maybe the antenna got moved, but that wasn't it. Maybe it could be the weather. Dunno.
I guess they are still coming in good, so signal strength being low isn't affecting much.....for now.

One thing, its been dry all summer. Between the two hurricanes, we got over 5" of rain, which would go up the trees into the leaves. Im not sure exactly how much attenuation going through a forest of trees causes on UHF, but might cause a little change. I noted Alien antenna found some tropo. I havent received 5 from Memphis since the change over when they accidentally shot their whole NTSC power into the digital signal for about an hour. They were solid copy here at 100KW. When they cut it to 34KW, I havent seen them since.

Those are gone... now:
KWMO Hot Springs... with 4 bars. That ranks with the best I can get here. Four bars is as good as my best stations, (ABC, NBC)

KETS was off for a bit:

KASN is still off as I type this:

Thanks. Got it back at 100%. Never get KASN since they moved off 39 to 34, for some reason, but never watch anything on it anyway. Now that I have a second HDHR, I might use the 2 tuner one with a dedicated antenna pointed south that isnt combined with the west antennas on the tower.KETS was off for a bit:

I am slowly moving in that direction...
I would like two things : recording with only enough memory to pause a show, like "instant replay".
And, an additional tuner. I am using only the built in tuner, and I wonder if updated tuner will help reception.
DavienLR (or anyone) do you have old equipment to sell? Any advice?
Computer program on PC, or stand alone box?

For anyone who is interested, KETS (and KASN for that matter) was off the air on Saturday evening for a while due to a power failure and a non operational site generator (waiting on parts).
