Do you one better. Here is my HomeRun 4K live scan page.

here is the results from that page too.

You posted the live scan link a week ago. The point of the signal search is to compare prediction with reality, to suggest what you can possibly improve vs. what you likely cannot.
First, all of your signals except WCTE show "tropo" (click the mileages) for the reception path, meaning that there are more than two terrain obstacles between the transmitter and your antenna. Reception in such situations is problematic and idiosyncratic in terms of antenna location.
Second, your scan shows that in a relative sense, UHF signals from just
one tower are out-performing all others compared to the prediction , even those from other
nearby towers, such as WPGD and WTVF, transmitting from .3 and .5 miles away, respectively. This suggests that your antenna happens to be positioned very favorably for that particular tower, and that if you want to improve your reception from other Nashville stations, you would probably be better off walking around your property with a smallish UHF antenna to try and find a location better suited to those other stations.
Third, the signal search shows Huntsville signals at strengths comparable to Nashville signals. That may or may not match reality, but you might find a sweet spot on your property where you could get more reliable reception from Huntsville than you currently have from Nashville.
Finally:
Can I just say how ATSC 1.0 is SO bad compared to 3.0. [Reception graphs of WKRN RF 27 and WNAB RF 30 deleted.]
Not really, no. Those two transmitters are 15 miles apart, so it's apples and oranges. You do not have enough data to predict how well you would receive a 3.0 signal from WKRN's location. You might not even get a robust signal from there with your current receive configuration. Worth noting, when Sinclair signals were on
reduced power on March 7, before you were on the band scan,
you posted that you couldn't even get a lock on the robust PLP from WUXP.
The only halfway fair comparison is between the 3.0 lighthouses and WZTV's 1.0 signal. Even there the directional patterns of the three signals are different, as is the HAAT, but at least they are all on the same tower. And you get WZTV 99% of the time, which means you get all 6 services from it 99% of the time, because that is the nature of 1.0, all or nothing. From the 3.0 lighthouses, you get only 2 of the 6 services 100% of the time, and the others some of the time or not at all.
You might be happy with that, but I think a lot of other people might not be.
So please stop posting how superior 3.0 is to 1.0 for fringe viewers, in multiple forum threads, at AVS and SiliconDust.
You just got LUCKY with the location of the 3.0 lighthouses in your area.
