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
