Good Day Ken,
Well, That is the embarrassing part of my set-up. I am stuck with a 70 mile radius for reception and too much work to not have been able to get more.
All the stations that I should get, I do get (Chicago-Milwaukee):
Strangely, TV Fool shows Gary, Indiana shows at the same distance, but it at least 10 miles more and I get that well too.
The farthest station I get is PBS WYIN in Indiana 77 miles, but it is as easy as it gets, across the Lake front with no obstructions:
I really have issues getting Rockford 69.7 miles away to my west, but it looks as if I may have terrain blocking me. I don't think I've ever gotten Rockford and if I wanted it, I would need a much higher set-up. I say that because if I tell the TV Fool Interactive map I have a 300' AGL antenna I see a LOS to Rockford.
57' AGL to Rockford:
Across Lake Michigan are several stations 100+ miles, but I have too many tall trees to my east. I gave up on that this summer but I will retry this winter after the leaves have fallen.
So in reality, I wont get anything over and above what my TV Fool report says I can get.
