Will this antenna pick up stations over 30 miles? We are a little over that distance from our local channels.

Hi, Deb this is Pamela in San Francisco Bay Area... which means I probably have many broadcast towers to pick up from.... I know we are getting stations from Sacramento which is 73 approx. air miles from our location in Redwood City.

Mine doesnt pick up anything. And, when I tried to contact them about immediate return (several times) they ignored me. Hope that answere your question. Unfortunately I still have mine in the bos :-(

probably not. We are actually looking for a new antenna because this one has issues at times, signal not staying in. We have to drag it all over the living room to get it to work properly.

after scanning, it will pick up stations in your local area. we get 5 or 6 air channels here depending on location in house/building. the magnetic antenna works good in car too. bought mine about 4 years ago.

We use an over the air antenna for the local channels. It picks up around 20 channels and they are all high definition.

I'm not entirely, sure-I believe the main transmitting antenna I was picking up while it did work were about 10 miles away. It worked for a few months, then died. I bought the RCA antenna at Fry's with a pre-amplifier, works better and is still working.

I live about 40 miles North of Dallas and it works really well. If I understand the package instructions right, this is a medium multi-directional antenna. I think it could get a signal 60 miles away, however, check out this web site: http://www.antennaweb.org/ to make sure I'm not telling you something that isn't so.

It depends on how far u r from the stations antennas. This worked for a 30 mile radius and the picture was really good. Hope this helps.

I agree with Charles. If the signal is strong enough, it should pick up the channel. I need to move the antenna periodically, but not that often. My antenna picks up two 7.1s and two 7.2s. I hope this helps!

Not sure what you mean, so will answer the best I know. The cord on this is very short. About 4 ft. long. The antenna picks up (mostly all) the TV stations very well, though I don't know where the stations are located. I'm sure they are many, many miles away.

I have been able to work 2-meter repeaters 45 miles away with a telescopic antenna. It depends upon the terrain of course.

I don't know how big the range is. It worked ok for me but the local stations are very close by. It probably average. It is going to depend where you live and the geography between you and the broadcast towers.

70 miles is a long way but it is worth the try. You may need to go to an outdoor antenna or amplified one.

Dimple,I got this antenna for mother-in-law and she is very pleased with the reception of both UHF and VHF channels. She is receiving two channels I am aware of that are 30+ miles away on VHF.Also remember that there are factors that will affect you signal...such as obstructions, trees, mountain ranges, the height you have your antenna set up in the air, etc. Anyway, hope this helps you out.

Hello, I live in North Carolina and I can only speak for my location. We love this antenna and have purchased 5 of them for ourselves and friends. We are able to get 25 stations. It picks up stations about 100 miles from our home.

In my experience, it depends on quite a few things. Atmospheric conditions, large bldgs/towers/hills, etc. can have a detrimental effect on antenna effectiveness. Also make sure to mount as high as possible on your vehicle. With perfect conditions (flat land, no towers, obstructions, etc., high mount, decent cb radio, good weather) these antennas will work for miles. I've never thought to measure how far but I'd think at least 2-3 miles.

I live in a smaller town and I can receive signals that are probably 55 miles away in different directions. I had a more expensive antenna and it didn't perform near as well. Because these are antenas, I have found placing them near a window and at a higher level on shelf above tv extends their distance ability.

I haven't actually done so, but messing around with it, seems like it would pick up local channels if it had an antenna connected to it. Hope this is somewhat helpful.

I have a place in northeast Wisconsin and I am 72 miles from Green Bay, Wi and I now receive all the channels from Green Bay. I have the antenna only about 12 feet off the ground right now. So I would have to say the antenna works very well.
