Physics explained
antennas work line of sight

so if your antenna is placed a mile above your house, you might get 150 mile range
use RG6 for less loss

this antenna will work for Flat Earthers

Just browsing the Amazon overstock deals and was surprised to see an outdoor antenna with an A fakespot rating, figured I'd share! Maybe the further ~30% discount will be enough to change the voting this time.

I'm very skeptical that this would get any range close to 150 miles.

How does someone take this thing seriously? It shows non OTA channels in the list it offers to pick up as OTA. The mounting photos they didn't scale anything, it looks to be the size of a garage. You would think they would want to point out how small and inconspicuous it is./

I use this (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0024R4B5C) antenna. It is directional, as UHF TV signals are. I am wondering how this one fares compared to a traditional antenna.

This antenna claims that it has 360 degrees of reception and a 150 mile range. Both of those claims are not quite lies. This is not an omnidirectional antenna. It is a directional antenna mounted on a pole... and could be mounted pointing in any direction. Giving you 360 degrees of reception, lol.

The 150 mile claim is similar. The curvature of the earth prevents reliable reception beyond ~70 miles. So if you draw a 75 mile radius circle, you get a 150 mile total range. lol

Their available channel graphic shows cable channels that changed names years ago, and one even has both the OLD and NEW logos! Hahaha

You know it's good because it's so powerful HBO becomes a local channel.
