The fair one is in       Muskoka and is CHCH TV, not the best station for good programming..       The others were (2) CTV and Global.              It showed 10 if I went for within 100 miles, but I have my doubts you'd       get a decent signal, if any, from 100 miles away..              JH>So we bought two high-gain directional antennas to point in each        >direction.
