   Greetings TOM!   
      
      
    RW>> Perhaps you didn't know that Ch-10 owns property on top of Mt San   
    RW>> Miguel   
    RW>> ... they could have moved there since I left SD or not. Channel 39   
    RW>> and 51 are located on that mountain. I forget where Ch-15 is   
    RW>> located, but if they're not located on Miguel, they may still be on   
    RW>> Mt Soladad...   
      
    TW> I don't care aobut where Ch 10 has property and I know whare the Ch   
    TW> 10 Transmitter tower is   
      
   You should, as the station xmitter on that mountain may change at anytime.   
      
    TW>  and, Mt Soledad along with Ch 8.   
      
   I know this.   
      
    TW>  And it has been there ever since 1951 when I first cale to SDan   
    TW> Diego when there was only Three TV channels, Ch 6 with their   
    TW> transmitter located in Mecico   
      
   Otay Mesa...   
      
    TW>  and Ch 8 and 10 on Mt Soledad. It so hapened that the sites   
    TW> were almost exacticaly 180 degrees form each other so a "San Diego   
    TW> Special" antanna was used with a zero front to back ratio so both   
    TW> transmitter sites could be recieved on the same antenna.   
      
   I know, I used to live within a mile of it in Clairemont. The fact is that   
   Ch10 owns property on San Miguel that has a building and a tower on it. It   
   could be utilized overnight as a new location for them. Channel 8 may move   
   with them if there lease on Soledad runs out.   
      
    RW>> For help in receiving the UHF channels in your area, here is a link   
    RW>> to a sight that will use your ZIP, physical address and antenna   
    RW>> height above ground to give you the direction and suggest an antenna   
    RW>> that will give you reception. They also provide you with each   
    RW>> channel within range and direction to point your Yagi or LPA TV   
    RW>> antenna.   
      
    RW>> http://www.antennaweb.org/default.aspx   
      
    TW> I used that site and since my Zip code, 92021, is in in El Cajon   
    TW> Valley and I an east of El Cajon with a close High Hill between my   
    TW> location and the Mount Miguel transmitter site it is Wrothless in   
    TW> determing what TV stations I can get.   
      
   You're welcome anyway.   
      
       Have a day!
