    Installed a Turnstile antenna about 5 ft above the roof yesterday for HD FM Radio reception.
    Guess it is working as the first station I ran across was WBNZ 92.3 FM.
    Station is located in Traverse City, Michigan.
    I would have been happy with 30 mile reception.
    170 miles is even better !!

    I suppose the fact that the path is mostly over water (SouthEast over Lake Michigan) helps the reception, but today the station is still coming in strong.
    Not a one day fluke of good reception conditions.
