The word "Incredible" has two possible meanings: "Incredible, as in Wow -- Terrific -- Amazing!" or "Incredible, as in not credible."
The Super Yooper” or Tropo-Scatter in Da U-P
This guy, Paul Anderson, gen. mgr of AbilityHDTV, claims he consistently receives 14 tropospheric stations over 100 miles away, 24 hours a day, plus another 7 stations 199 to 235 miles away, from evening to about 10 AM. To do this. he combines two Sigma6HD antennas, each amplified with an ULNA/EXT amplifier and combined with a regular splitter.
I pulled up a TV Fool Report for the area, and found translators within 70 miles that rebroadcast a few of those stations. But for the most part I can't explain his claims unless his theory is correct that tropo reception up to 150 miles can be made reliable with the right equipment.
Of course he's trying to sell you something. Total cost for someone in da U-P to implement his system:$560 + cable + a splitter that passes DC + S&H. Easily over $600. This only includes UHF reception -- no VHF.
