I wouldn’t think so unless you’re in a really flat area. My understanding is most antenna are going to max out around 100 miles due to the curvature of the earth. I like it and you can see if it works for you with a booster unless you want some monster size antenna.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.The curvature of the Earth will block most over-the-air broadcast signals at roughly 70 miles. According to the current laws of physics, it is generally impossible to deliver the 100 and 150-mile ranges with a TV antenna (sorry if you are a flat-earther). While you may receive signals from farther away in absolutely ideal conditions (a home atop a hill whose broadcast towers are directly on top of another hill with a clear shot between the two and absolutely no obstacles) or you’re inclined to engineer a unique (and probably dangerously tall) setup, then consistent, reliable reception of anything over 70 miles away should not be expected.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Commercial Over-the-Air TV antennas are marketed with distance ratings between 20 to 60 miles (for most indoor models) and up to 150+ miles (for 'extreme' outdoor models). But, in real-world conditions the idea reception areas for antenna TV are within about 35 miles of local broadcast towers. This one has been the best so far but 150 miles I think is way to much to ask. But try it and send it back if it won't work.
