If that's the case, the the small Antennacraft Y5-7-13 may work reasonably well. That CBS station is only transmitting a measly 8000 watts, so it will likely not be reliable 24/7, but an even larger antenna should help reduce dropouts more if you have the room. The FCC really screwed up digital VHF & the power levels are still too low in many areas, just like Chicago.
Our VHF stations in DC started off ridiculously low, but are now transmitting 52,000 watts. I still find the UHF stations more reliable once 50+ miles away even with the more generous power levels alloted to VHF here.
