Reception Maps - Report Your OTA Reception

[Kevin Arnold]

I've got a little project going here.  I want to make a map for each station detailing how far you can get their signal Over the air using either an indoor antenna or rooftop antenna.  I'll try and collate the data and publish maps for each station later on.  Please report the following info.  For the sake of this I will define "good" recepton as no break ups or fades at least 95% of the time.  Post the following if you would.

Station (8, 22, 28, 33, 34, 46)
Indoor (i.e. set top), attic mount, or rooftop
General location - if you can give a intersection near you place that would be enough.

Comments:  any unusual configurations or conditions you think may change things.  If you can get the Madison, Chicago, or Green Bay stations you can put that here.

Thanks for your help.

I used to pick up 33 (Foxy 6), but I guess its too cold out there now.
