This antenna is listed on 2 websites with the same picture, but different descriptions.
Amazon says it's 113x95x22 inches, which is almost 10x8 feet. And it says its a 60 mile range.
Amazon link 4228

Channel Master says it's 5.5x41x33 inches, which maybe means 5 ft by 3 or 4 feet, and it has a range of 75 miles.
CM link to 4228

Anyway, what is the more accurate size and range?
Trust the Channel Master ad copy over the retailers' info. Don't give much attention to mileage estimates (those are from the marketing department, not the engineering department. If we all lived in flat terrain and had no trees, a mileage estimate standard might be plausible.)
