I live about 20 miles outside of Chicago, IL and even though I am on the second floor and about 6 feet from a window this antenna only picks up FOX, which happens to be the strongest signal station in Chicago, IL. I read a lot of great reviews and a lot of horrible reviews but needed to find out for myself since I'm not that far from all the major network towers in Chicago.I hate that I have to go through the trial and error of antennas. Can't someone make an excellent antenna and be done with it? All these brands and models to do this and that. Let's get the best antenna from each manufacturer and stop wasting the time of people like me. I didn't buy it based on price rather some of the positive reviews on here and other sites.This is garbage, don't waste your time or money.
