SLC Utah, the towers are on the western mountains and I'm up on the eastern mountains. The valley is below, and could give a fair bit of MP hitting whatever is down there though too... I did angle my antenna about 5 degrees north, because I did see a more jumpy signal directly at the towers.. I run through 350' of cat 6 and 2 1-4 splitters, use a $20 small yaggi from radio shack and no amplifier.. --Brandon
