Tv DX signals can be received for a second or even hours at a time.
Out past a target figure of say 80 miles , - Reliable - Broadcast Tv Reception has less to do with the antenna and more to do with the lay of the land.
As examples but not the only examples , the transmitting antenna is up alot higher then the receiving antenna , or the receiving antenna is up alot higher ten the transmitting antenna.
Weather and atmospheric conditions are a big part of DX.
The internet is a good place to find DX'ers and all about how to get the DX reception.
Hard core DX'ers are into getting the impossible to get reception and proudly display the ' screen shots ' to prove it.

What kind of equipment were you using at the time? Do you have to put a lot of special equipment into play to do DXing? Would the c5 be any good for thid if it were on a rotator?
