Most of the VHF stations have a 80-mile broadcasting radius right?

[Jerseyman4]

^Yep, they do.

Its not unusual id get Roanoke or Columbia markets every other night/once a week. These are the tv stations listed that i can get all the time.

I grew up in Cheraw, SC, 8 miles south of the NC border. As one of the first towns with a "community antenna" (the forerunner of cable tv), we had three CBS affiliates (Charlotte, Florence, and Columbia), three NBC (Charlotte, Wilmington, and Columbia), two ABC (Charlotte and Columbia), SCETV, and two independent stations (WRET and WCCB) in Charlotte.

That's really cool... yeah a border-market town like Cheraw would need a community antenna service.
