Anyone using 'over the air' TV antenna?

Put in your zip code to start and then move the red marker to your location. You see will that reception is highly location variable. The results assume a roof mount antenna and even then Ch 9 is very hard to get in this area unless your location is ideal. Reception of Ch 9 in this area with a mid size in room antenna is highly unlikely.

From the west side of Welch we can get Maine Ch 8 with a high gain roof mount VHF High band antenna aimed toward Mt Major, a signal reflected off the mountain.

We also get VT channels 31 and 41 with a high gain roof mount UHF antenna aimed to the west. There is a pre amp on the antenna mast that combines the VHF and UHF antennas.

We are not able to receive Ch 9 from that location even with the high gain VHF high band antenna.
