35 channels from 9 stations here, 3 states... high spot on the prairie. I can reach 90 miles with a small outside antenna. On a foggy calm morning if I aim my antenna right and re-scan I can pick up Green Bay in east WI :o Almost 300 driving miles away.

Simon is still plenty close to a city...and a big one that. Geography is against him for OTA tv.

You are screwed for anything that requires line of sight. You better stick to the HF bands.

I get 33 channels of OTA TV but there is nothing worth watching on. I gave up on broadcast, cable TV and a land line home phone years ago.

I don’t miss them one bit.

I get by with my iPhone and broadband internet...

I do have an Iridium handheld SatPhone too JIC🤯

I like all the old show and movie channels. MeTV, AntennaTV, LaffTV, ThisTV, GritTV. Regular programming on the main channels isnt very good though. Green Acres at 830 and Carson at 9 (central time) cant be beat for me.

Very cool tool, enter your zip and antenna height then zoom out the map and you can see what you can get.
