I recently built an 8 bay coat hanger antenna mounted it on a light pole 20ft. I'm fairly impressed with it. I am able to pick up all locals (10-35) miles and am able to pick up a bunch of stations in the Dallas area (122mi) when tropospheric conditions allow. I have noticed lately while driving around the area many homes with roof top antennas most of them point towards the local stations but I also see several that have them pointed in the oposite direction towards Dallas. And I have seen at least 3 homes with a dual antenna setup with a normal large antenna on bottom and a smaller one with a reflector on top both pointed at towers 122 miles away. Are these people really getting a reliable signal that far away? Everything that I've read says it's not possible. If it is what antenna would you recommend?
