A long time ago when I put up an antenna, I was pretty impressed.
Getting somewhere around 17 - 22 off air channels (I am in Burlington Ontario)
All coming in HD and not too much effort to get them.
I knew it was always going to be typical network stations so never expected much more. Between US and Canadian Networks how many more channels are there?

Well, I was almost ready to tell someone that they were full of it when in Florida recently. He told me that in around Sarasota (where we were) some people were receiving almost 70 channels off air. I had to look it up in TV fool.
Wow.... With the right antenna, that is a heck of a list of channels that can be received. I know many are going to be the same network feeds from other locations, but there was a lot that could be picked up.

So, just wondering where in North America is the "King of Locations" for receiving the greatest number of OTA stations?

Anyone here getting more than 70? Or know of other areas with this kind of reception?

What makes Florida so good for TV reception is that it's almost constantly in a Tropo ducting zone.

I would imagine anywhere with a major metropolis would be up in the 50 to 70 range, especially down south when you consider the multi-lingual channels down there.
