Mystery solved

I have discovered why CBS58 digital is receivable in Germantown and Oconomowoc and not in Racine (at least at my house).  Notice the relative field values for the directional antenna vs direction.  Notice that for people west of the antenna (270 degrees) there is no degradation of the signal.  Those who are at 160 to 170 degrees are at about 60% of the maximum level.  This explains the reason for the receiving problem I am having right now.

  Relative Field Values for the Directional Antenna:
   Directional antenna relative field values do not include clockwise rotation, if shown above.

       0°  0.758       90°  0.322      180°  0.758      270°  1.000
      10°  0.687      100°  0.287      190°  0.826      280°  0.999
      20°  0.597      110°  0.222      200°  0.890      290°  0.999
      30°  0.476      120°  0.188      210°  0.944      300°  0.999
      40°  0.340      130°  0.229      220°  0.979      310°  0.996
      50°  0.229      140°  0.340      230°  0.996      320°  0.979
      60°  0.188      150°  0.476      240°  0.999      330°  0.944
      70°  0.222      160°  0.597      250°  0.999      340°  0.890
      80°  0.287      170°  0.687      260°  0.999      350°  0.826
