Why in the world would anyone go to all of the trouble to build any antenna when you can buy an antenna on line for $58.00 that will receive stations 150 miles away? This must have a gain of 30 db! HA! HA! HA! So anyone that is focused on antenna gain or chooses an antenna based on the manufactures claims of distance, listen up.
The world is not flat! All UHF signals fall into the "sky wave" catagory. This sets up a "radio horizon" about 80 miles out. On a clear site void of interferrence any good antenna with a gain around 9 dbi. will receive these stations.
