A substantial number of Americans still use antennas -- such as me.

I use a Wineguard Sensar III antenna, very similar to the Sensar IV except the III uses AC household power and the IV uses 12 Volt mobile home power. I pick up Philadelphia stations, which are about as far away as an antenna can reach (Antennaweb puts them at about 52 miles). The only station we have trouble with is Channel 6 (6.1, 6.2, and 6.3) which is also the only station that stayed on the VHF band.
We have this one in the camper.

It is a 100 mile antenna.
