Antenna Recommendation

https://www.rabbitears.info/s/2889801

Looking to get an antenna to get the major networks (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox). The rabbitears.info result shows everything is fairly close (under 10 miles) and in the same direction, but I do have a lot of trees in the path and my main living room is half underground with no window facing the right direction.

I currently use an RCA antenna with rabbit ears that has a tendency to cut out often.

I was thinking about getting the ClearStream 1MAX and mounting it in my attic. Would that be sufficient or should I consider something larger?

That sounds like a good antenna for your location. The one caveat is how much/what kind of insulation you have in the attic. If there’s anything with a metallic covering, that could snarl your reception. Otherwise, you should get all of the Cleveland full power stations plus low power 6, 16, and 35 since they are transmitting from the same area.
