City of license is a poor indicator sometimes. They are both a little
north of Troy, opposite sides of a county road that escapes me right
now, not too far off 231. Put good signals into Montgomery (when they
are on). You could get a 7' parabolic UHF antenna pretty cheap a few
years ago. Worth it if you really  have to watch off-air TV (shudder).
