I have an RCA antenna that I bought for $150 with an inline power injector and it pulls stations from 90 miles away even though my mast only clears the peak of the roof by about 5 feet. |

Yeah, I do. I've run this stuff for quite awhile at my parents before satelite got locals. And in town here, I'd need 30 feet.

EDIT: Nevermind, you probably have to clear your neighbors and their trees. Just noticed you were in town. |

I was actually able to use the J pole that they used to mount my satellite dish. Just bolted a 10-foot steel pole to it and mounted the antenna on top. I get stations from Des Moines (45 miles), Ottumwa (70 miles), and Cedar Rapids (85 miles).
