OTA Fox 5 issues

S

secondchoice

Living as far north of Downtown I occasionally will have issues with Channel 8 (thankfully they also have 18). 2, 46, 36, 69, and 17, occasionally will have (thermal inversion, severe thunderstorms or fog?) issues, never more than an hour or two. Channel 30 can be unreliable and now Fox 5 too. I don't watch Fox that much except for NFL Football. Of course it is messing up this afternoon. I can get the game on TUBI but this makes me wonder:

Has WAGA changed towers or has the FCC squeezed another signal close enough to cause issues with Fox 5? I know the FCC doesn't really recognize "markets" but both Pickens and Gilmer counties are in the Atlanta market.
 
How do you get the OTA channels? If you’re using an antenna there is an app called antenna point that will show you where to point your OTA antenna to get the strongest signals for the locals.

I’m on the far south side and FOX 5 is pretty solid. I never get ANF and 11Alive can be spotty. WSB is fine but a squirrel can sneeze somewhere and the OTA signal can go out lol.
