I don't know, but I'd guess they're all within 3 degrees of each other 
relative to your position (exceptions being a couple of the 
less-interesting channels)...  Say, on a heading of between maybe 325 
and 328 degrees.  Coupled with a 9-degree sweet spot of a typical 
directional antenna, you seem to be in OTA nirvana...
