[AT] OFF Topic: 4 month Verizon WAR

Based on the tone of your response I guess that's a yes, you've already
discovered these online tools to help figure out antenna signals.

I might be "near" a metro area (it's only a 45 minute commute to work near
Providence RI every day) but being "near" a metro area doesn't appear to
help.  I've only got three stations and 10 channels compared to your seven
stations and 22 channels.  I'm not saying any of those 22 channels are
going to provide what you're looking for.
