Broadcast towers on Queen Anne - Seattle, WA

[Tim]

I am talking about the three red towers at the top of Queen Anne hill. Which
stations broadcast over them?

Anyone live in the Ballard, Crown Hill area, pointing their HD OTA antennae
at them? How is the reception?

I have a clear (no buildings or hills) view of them from my roof at a
distance of about 5 miles. There are some power lines between my roof and
the towers, can they cause any inteference?

Thanks

The west antenna is KIRO (Ch 7). The center antenna is KOMO (Ch 4). The
east antenna
is KING (Ch 5). The KING broadcast site has a short tower with an
antenna. This may
be their HD broadcast site (UHF Ch 48), but I'm not certain.

Kirkland. Reception on a Radio Shack indoor 'bow-tie' is excellent.

Probably not. Just be careful if they are adjacent to your roof and you
try to put up a roof mast.
