As for distance ratings, I doubt there's a standard. Larger antennas are more directional so they can pull from a greater distance. Smaller antennas pull in a wider range of stations from various directions as long as they aren't far away. Think of it as a spot light vs a flood light. There's no hard cut off, reception fades the further away you are, that's all.
That makes sense. Thank you.
