Here is a URL that will take you to a very interesting TV station locator:

&page=All&aid=1218&articlegroupid=49

Be sure if the line above has gone over to more than one line that you copy
the whole thing.

Then Scroll down to the text that starts:
Start at this site, and enter your full address; the site calculates your
precise latitude and longitude. Jot down the decimal values and be sure to
note direction (North or South for latitude, East or West for longitude).

It is just below the first graphic.

Follow the directions



To save ou time, skip part 2 and use -5.75 for the declination

Plug it in to part 3 and select the distance from your location for all TV
stations you want to view. NOTE that you must use a (-) sign in front of the
80.xxx for the west longitude.

50 Miles will get you to W. Palm beach, and 100 miles will get the west
coast of Fla.

Have fun with it...  it even shows the patterns of the stations and where
they protect other signals.
