Thanks. Seems to be pretty general, though. I just think it would be cool to combine this with anecdotal info from antenna users.
I've found http://tvfool.com to be very useful and precise. It appears to rely on physics rather than anecdotes, but you might find it worth a try.
tvfool.com has been the go to resource not only will it help you determin what type of antenna you will need but also what stations you can expect to recive as well as what direction the broadcasts come from so you can better am your antenna.
