I bought one of those "Mohu Leaf" (Box said 60 MI reach) antennas in the barracks back in the day. Being on the 3rd story, and the antenna mounted in the window, I thought Id get some channels..
Nope. Only PBS.
So, I took the 50$ antenna back and bought a 10$ "Bunny Ear" style RCA Antenna (box stated 25 Mile Reach) and a "reception booster" by RCA for 14$
With that combo, I spent less than half the money on the fancy antenna, and got 31 channels (not including SAP/En Espanol channels)
Still get Fox/PBS/ABC/NBC/CW/CBS to this day, living in a one story house 3 miles away from my old barracks. I believe I get 28 channels (missing some of the Dallas Channels I was picking up, Still getting WACO and Austin though)
