Alternative source for watching Packer games?

The first regular season game will be Monday night so that is covered. 12-1 comes in like a champ. After that which station in Madison, Green Bay or (Insert name here) do I try to pull in?


 My inital attempts at "rotor surfing" have netted me Channel 3-1, 3-2 (Madison) and 2-1 out of Green Bay. I did pull some other stations in but haven't logged then into the STB yet.

Thanks

With the news of the move of Fox6's digital antenna to their main tower this week, it may be a moot point.  Sounds like we could get a decent OTA signal in time for the season!

Now that would be great! :drink:

 I suppose I shouldn't hold my breath based on the history of this whole thing?

I guess we'll have to wait and see. Hard to tell how good the signal will be. To this point it's all been hypothetical. The proof will be when they throw the switch.  800 feet is a decent height.. and so even if they run at a low power level similar to what 58 is running, ti could be good.

How many miles is Neosho from the Antenna?

According to the sites I've checked the distance is 27 miles. That must be as the crow flies since by car the odometer is well into the 30's by the time I hit the east side of Milwaukee.

 Interesting that you mentioned 58. Since I moved the antenna up to the 2nd story roof and (Thankfully) I installed a rotor I can now pull in 58 but I have to fiddle with the antenna direction depending on the time of day.

 At this point Wisc (Madison) is easier to pull in than Ch58 so the wife will have to learn the rotor position to watch The Young and the Restless  once DirectTv gets the boot..
