I think my only problem is that most of the stations I want are at
306deg, but 2 of them are at 356deg. The 2 at 356 are only 16miles away.
While the others are at most 46miles. I suppose I should point the
antenna at the 306deg since the 356deg are so much closer.

I appreciate your expertise! And thanks for your help!
