newbie in Mequon--can't get Fox or CBS??

[denno]

sorry if this has been covered someplace, but should I be able to receive CBS & Fox OTA in SE Mequon? All the other Milwaukee HD channels come in fine. I have a Winegard non-powered antenna on my roof.

It may be marginal for you...Fox is transmitting from their studios at Green Bay road  and Brown Deer...very low power and very low elevation. There aren't many people that can receive it and their antenna is facing southwest (again not favoring you).  But hope is in the future that they will soon be at their main tower site and up near the top (1000 or so feet).   So just hold on....

Welcome to the group.

You should be ablt to get CBS.  You might want to reaim the antenna

it seems to be an intermittent problem with 58--yesterday morning it was fine, now I just get a "no signal" message. Do they have a weak HD signal?

I'm in Thiensville.  I don't get either one either.  CBS is very intermittent.  I almost never get it.  Fox has never come in.

Didn't know FOX was transmitting from GB and BD Rd!  That ain't that far away.  Hmmmmm...  Maybe it's worth the effort of pointing a bit more south than south east and see what happens.

I live in cedarburg and I get CBS fine.  I have a cheap antenna on the second story roof.

I live in Mequon and get CBS as one of my better signals.  The only two that are really weak and I have trouble with are 18-1 and 6-1.

I have a 4 bow tie channel master in my attic.
