Thanks for the link! Sadly I am in a valley and even with an ~37' out side 
antenna all Atlanta stations are shown as "Edge" at TVfool. Actually get 
most of them well enough except channel two which fades out at times. Played 
with virtually running my antenna up to 60' with none improving to line of 
site.

BTW channel 14 may be based in Rome but they broadcast from near Waleska. 
Still probably the most distant station for many, but my closest and only 
line of site station.
