Well, using a 25 foot tower and locations within 60 miles this one only
showed me 4 options, 2 Bad, one poor and one fair. The fair one is in
Muskoka and is CHCH TV, not the best station for good programming..
The others were (2) CTV and Global.

It showed 10 if I went for within 100 miles, but I have my doubts you'd
get a decent signal, if any, from 100 miles away..

Many years ago, before rotors, we were out in the country and we
had 2 heads on the antenna as well. It did work pretty well..
