DiverD,

That's what I have Three (3) TV Antennas 'Stacked' on One Pole:
[ Over-the-Air FREE TV ]

# 1 = Bottom @ SF Sutro Tower (255*)
RadioShack VU-75 Antenna Mounted at 22 Feet
[ 18 Element Antenna - 50" Boom Length ]

# 2 = Middle @ San Jose (145*)
RadioShack VU-90 Antenna Mounted at 29 Feet
[ 32 Element Antenna - 80" Boom Length ]

# 3 = Top @ Sacramento (45* Plus 5* Tilt )
RadioShack VU-120 Antenna Mounted at 36 Feet
[ 37 Element Antenna - 120" Boom Length ]

In Central California, I have ONE antenna (Channel Master 1160A)
mounted on a 20-ft mast with rotor (on top of one-story house) and
pick up the following channels (*signal varies from weak to perfect):
3 - local
4 - local
6 - Sacramento
8 - local
*8 - Salinas
*10 - Sacramento
*11 - San Jose
12 - local
13 - local
14 - local
15 - local
*17 - Bakersfield
18 - local
*19 - Modesto
21 - local
23 - Bakersfield
24 - local
26 - local
27 - ?
29 - Bakersfield
30 - local
*31 - Sacramento
32 - local
33 - local
35 - local
*39 - Bakersfield
*40 - Sacramento
*42 - Concord
42 - local
43 - local
*45 - Bakersfield
*46 - San Jose
47 - local
49 - local
*50 - Santa Rose
51 - local
53 - local
55 - local
56 - local
*58 - Sacramento
*58 - Bakersfield
59 - local
61 - local
*65 - San Jose
66 - local
PLUS, once in a while:
2 - Oakland
5 - San Francisco
5 - Los Angeles
7 - San Francisco
7 - Redding
9 - San Francisco
9 - Los Angeles
9 - Redding
20 - San Francisco
44 - San Francisco
60 - San Francisco

The 1160A is so directional, I can pickup as many as THREE STATIONS ON
THE SAME CHANNEL, ALL CLEAR WITHOUT INTERFERENCE, JUST BY TURNING THE
ANTENNA.
