[QUOTE=&quot;Tim58hsv, post: 31665, member: 663&quot;]The manufactures mileage claims on any antenna can vary greatly and can vary either way. You may get less mileage or you may get significantly more.Take for example my antennas. I have two U4000's (4-bay type) and a Radio Shack 15-624 (2-bay). The U4000 is rated at (I think) 60 miles while the 15-624 is suppose to be good for 20 or 30 miles. Both styles of antennas will pickup most of the Cincinnati channels at 42 miles away and both will pick up WWHO out of Chillicothe, Ohio which is 54 miles aways.On the other hand neither antenna will pick up the Columbus station at 61 miles way but that could be due to my antennas being in the attic.Like Piggie said, there's a lot of factors involved in good reception such as terrain, multi-path interference, the tv stations transmitting power, etc, and there can be no guarantee one way or the other when it comes to reception range.[/QUOTE]
