Hi, since there are 3 towers within 60 miles, we recommend you to get this omni-directional 60 mile outdoor antenna, here is the link, 1byone OUS00-0181 Rectangle Digital TV Antenna, Anti-UV Coating, Waterproof and Lightweight, 60 Miles Omni

Your reception depends on the distance between you and the stations you're trying to get. Ones in your area can be found here: http://www.antennaweb.org/Address.aspx Over 60 miles or so, you need a high mounted, in the clear, directional antenna.I used this site and all the stations were approximately 40 - 45 miles away over basically flat terrain. I get all that are available in this area.

There are websites that will tell you the location of the nearest broadcast towers and the recommended antenna type. Just search for antenna position. I used this in the suburban Miami area, about 25 miles from the main towers with very very good results.

It doesnt really matter what you live in, what matters most is how far away or what terrain is in between your broadcast stations. I live about 30 miles away from the local stations and I am happy with the antenna. (also a mobile home)

Your transmission range depends on obstacles and weather conditions. As a rule of thumb I have transmited to Hawaii using what is called skip. With the addition of KL 60 it will more than tripple your range of transmission and in" line of sight " it would transmit quite a distance, depending on the type of radio you have and if you use sideband etc. I would strongly recommend this item for improvement of your transmission range, as well as a clean signal. Good luck.

This antenna is good for signals within about 30 miles. For signals in the 60 mile range you will need to use a high quality exterior antenna.

It picks up broadcast channels clearly in that range. In fact, before getting this Mohu, I was unaware that there were other over-the-air channels besides Channel 4 and 5 down there in my area (4-1, 4-2, 5-1, 5-2, 5-3), near San Antonio, TX.

I don't believe the antenna will work 100 miles. The range is approximately 25 to 30 miles for a good signal. I can say that with confidence as I'm that distance from the TV towers... I am able to pull in 25 channels with the Ghost Antenna... I'm very happy with it and purchased (2) more for my brother-in-law and sister-in-law. They are in the Boston area and get 36 channels.

It matters where the towers are. I got many more channels after I installed this antenna. It's not cable television but it beats paying all that money for "nothing being on tv." You may have to adjust where you hang it for certain channels but I'd rather make an adjustment instead of paying over $100 for shows they play over and over again. I installed it on my Uncle's tv and for a 99 yr old man, he's happy with it. Hope this helped someone.

I live between 12 and 30 miles from all of the transmission towers in my area and mine is inside on the ground floor on the middle shelf of the TV stand. I get great reception. My house gets alot of planes overhead because I only live about 5 miles from the airport. My other antenna used get messed up by the planes flying overhead but I don't have that issue anymore.

With any antenna, the key to best reception is to mount the thing so that there is line of sight to the reception towers. So...if your 15' mount will allow you some line of sight to your local towers, great. Otherwise, you may need to go up higher. I will take this opportunity to say that my roof mount of this antenna is flawless.

Yes. Without will give you 35 miles of range. With, 50 miles of range. Sometimes when you are really close to the towers, you wont want to use the amplifier because it will over-amplify your signal and you wont be able to receive the channel. LaMar TimmonsWinegard Digital Communications

I can not tell you whether it get signals 60 miles away, because I don't know where each of the channel signal come from. I get aproximately aboout 15 channels.

It depends if you purchase the range booster. Mine work between the house, barn and garage but all the buildings are in a 100 foot radius of the base station.

They recommend pointing towards the towers. I have had it in different positions and did a channel scan and did not notice a difference. I have noticed the higher it is placed the better. I get 47 channels on the main level of my house and 74 channels on the upper level. I'm going to put it in my attic.

It depends entirely on where you live. Go to antenna.gov also http://www.antennaweb.org/Address.aspx. Type in your street address, zip code and a list of channels in your area will be generated. NOTE: ( at antennaweb.org check the button that indicates the antenna will be placed 30 feet above the ground. You'll get a more accurate list) The lists are color coded, indicating channels that should be easy to pick up "green" all the way to almost impossible "red". Antennaweb also generates a map showing the transmission towers in relationship to your location. Could be useful information when trying to determine where to place your antenna for best reception.

I live between to major cities that broadcast. I have it pointed in the direction of the closest city. It picks up well, but I also have an amp on it because of my cable run. I can pick up the other city to the back side of the antenna as well but not as strong. If I turn it to face the other city it does have better gain. The 2 cities signals are basically the same distance apart, within 5 miles. It is sort of multi-directional, but it does have a weaker side of reception if you are between 2 cities. I just pointed it in the direction of the signal and that was it. You really shouldn't have to move it if your broadcast towers are in the same relative area. So, I guess in that respect you could say it is multi-directional.
