GA,

Sound like a nice central location for Reception in general.

Because we are in the valley, highth of an antenna is especially
important for good distance reception. With a 60 to 80-foot tower,
you can expect to get more regular decent reception from Sacramento,
San Francisco, and Los Angeles, as well as Santa Barbara, San Luis
Obispo, and more. Back in the early 50's I remember two homes with
tall towers with a large tv anteena on each and was told they received
channels from both San Francisco and Los Angeles. That was before
they had any tv stations in the Fresno area.
