Well, using a 25 foot tower and locations within 60 miles this one only showed me 4 options, 2 Bad, one poor and one fair. The fair one is in Muskoka and is CHCH TV, not the best station for good programming.. The others were (2) CTV and Global. It showed 10 if I went for within 100 miles, but I have my doubts you'd get a decent signal, if any, from 100 miles away..

Many years ago, before rotors, we were out in the country and we had 2 heads on the antenna as well. It did work pretty well.. --- * SLMR Rob * Taglines are childish and I refuse to use them * Origin: capitolcityonline.net * Telnet/SSH:2022/HTTP (1:2320/105) SEEN-BY: 105/81 106/201 128/187 129/14 305 153/7715 154/110 218/700 SEEN-BY: 226/30 227/114 229/110 275 300 307 317 426 428 470 664 700 SEEN-BY: 229/705 291/111 292/854 320/219 322/757 396/45 460/58 712/848 SEEN-BY: 902/26 2320/0 105 304 5020/400 5075/35 PATH: 2320/105 229/426 |
