I live 30 miles from Chicago.
Before purchasing this antenna I read all the reviews. Most of the concerns that people seemed to have had nothing to do with the antenna, but actually centered around the flimsy cardboard box it was shipped in. When our antenna arrived the box was loose at both ends and there were a few nuts rolling free in the box that could have very easily fallen out. But we lucked out and everything was there.
By the way - we utilized the super free shipping that Amazon offers. The antenna arrived a couple of days after we ordered it.
We put the antenna in the attic of our two story home. Our home is surrounded by larger houses and lots of very tall trees. We get all our normal channels, plus a few I never knew existed. I was concerned that, with such a powerful antenna, we might pick up too many channels and they would spill over on each other, but since this antenna is very directional, that has not happened.
I am very pleased with this antenna. It feels like I've purchased a lifetime of free reception for the mere cost of about three months of cable TV.
By the way, be careful when exiting your attic. My ladder slipped and I fell out of the attic. But don't worry! I'm okay....just pulled a muscle in my arm while trying to break the fall.
