Default antenna is everything

With a larger rotatable antenna, it is possible to get stations from cities as far away as Boston, and have a perfect picture. This depends somewhat on where you are on the lake. I know someone on Cow Island that is getting several Boston channels (there is somewhat of a gap in the mountains looking down Alton Bay from there). Lots of good info in this thread. After June 12 changeover date, there will be stronger signals for many stations. But, omindirectional antennae are not good in fringe areas like the Lakes Region. You need a directional antenna and bigger is better.
