Can please review one of the 5600 mile antennas? I bet they’re amazing. Lol.😂 These mileage claims defy all common sense as well as the laws of physics.

In the 1990's I recall an advertisement in the infamous National Enquirer for a roughly 8 inch dish antenna with a center pair of 3 inch dipole rods for the low price of only $4.95 claims to get unlimited free unscrambled satellite TV signals. I laughed my guts out.

Looks like it works equally well as an antenna or microphone!

[@Jared_Wignall]

If you see any antenna that says anything about being able to work over 100 mile range is not worth looking at any further. Thanks for your videos Tyler, keep up the great work and take care!

I remember back in the 80's CNN Headline News (not the regular CNN) was syndicated and carried on some free, over-the-air TV stations but just in a 1 hour interval late at night.

[@cwcole]

I won't look at an antenna unless it has at least a 990+ mile range. It's just not worth the $29.99 price tag unless I can watch local news and weather that is 900 miles away. I'll stick with my bent-up coat hanger and ball of aluminum foil for now. The Little Tikes coup gets amazing mileage! You never have to stop at the gas station. Thanks for the review!

Tyler - one small correction. If you put this antenna on a helium balloon and supplied it with a 350,000 foot cable, it could probably get close to 1,000 miles of reception.

[@JonathanCauthorn]

It may work better as a microphone than an antenna. Been awhile since you gave us a laugh with these junk antennas. Happy Thanksgiving Antenna Man.

You should open that mic, I mean antenna up. I'd love to see what is or isn't inside

[@vmoutsop]

The company is owned by flat-earthers 😂😂😂

[@jameswarren436]

tv stations are not allowed to push but so much power due to interfering with other things. that being said a antenna will just pick up as far as the signal is pushing power regardless of what kind of antenna you have. may be a good antenna but if the station is not pushing enough power to get there it cant receive it

[@johndavis3921]

May I suggest an idea? For the fun of it, you should plug a paper clip or a piece of scrap speaker wire in the antenna jack and then compare the reception of those two items with the misleading 980-mile antenna.

[@AntennaMan]

I actually made a video about a paperclip picking up TV stations below but I agree, it would be good to show as a reference in future videos. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3bXkIadgZqjetk

[@eprovensen]

Do you have Ollie's stores up there in Pennsylvania by you? A couple months ago, they were selling Mohu antenna models at a big discounted price. I live near Norfolk Virginia, and I bought both Mohu models. I live an hour north of Norfolk, with the smaller model I was able to pick everything up Norfolk Virginia Beach area. If there is a Ollie's near you, I recommend you perform a review on a antenna that Ollie's sells. I've been pleased with both Mohu antennas.

[@AntennaMan]

Ollies is in my area. I haven't shopped at the store in years, but recall them having a decent antenna selection. Most models were junk but there were a few decent models.

[@mistermac56]

@@AntennaMan one has to be careful, as there are Mohu antennas that are Chinese knockoffs. I bought a two pack of so called Mohu antennas from a Sam's Club store and they turned out to be fake, as one broke in half while trying to install it and there were NO metal elements embedded in the plastic. They also came with so-called mini amplifiers, and I cracked one open and the only thing it had was circuitry to drop the 5 volt input to illuminate an LED. I took them back to the store and the manager said that stores were pulling them because they were fakes and promptly refunded me.

980+ miles is ths range for warranty service.

Microwave relay was how stations like NPR got form one palce to an 2nd palce before satellite came in the subject. I konw you may be asking yes fiber optic has an range iusse; and yes an more powerfull laser like higher voltage electricity will give it more range.
