I live in Clovis, California (just outside Fresno), 180 miles from
Sacramento, and get hdtv on channels 3, 13, and 58 almost every day,
using a Channel Master 1160A antenna mounted with rotor on a 20-ft
mast. Some days I also get channels 10, 29, and 40 from Sacramento.
Reception is usually strong enough in the mornings and at night. I
have also, on occasion, received hdtv stations from the bay area, 200
miles from me.


I used to live in Paradise, a few miles from you. We put a large UHF yagi up
in a tree and aimed it for San Francisco. We could get a fair picture in the
morning and evening, but nothing but snow during the day. Because of a
mountain intervening, we really didn't get much signal at all from Sacto.
Our best signal was from "Perfect 36".
