I have the 8200 pointed at 285 and get the cw channel sometimes.
jdemaris had some good things to say about the 8200:

When I used signal projection, like from TVFool.com - I can get all the channels listed as low a minus 30 NM which is pretty weak.

The Winegard HD8200 is by far that best antenna for "fringe" reception on all the bands - low VHF, high VHF, and UHF. It's not as good on the UHF bands as several UHF only antennas but often good enough for many people. keep in mind, it's a big antenna.
jdemaris knows a lot about antennas. It is worth your time to read his post linked above and all three pages of that thread at hearth.com.
