Ch 65 Milwaukee used to rebroadcast Ch 26 Chicago on the cheap by merely picking up Chicago signal (82 miles) with a yagi on old radio tower atop Marc Plaza Bldg (now Hilton Hotel)(where CH 65 transmitter was located.)
They avoided paying for a link or satellite transponder.
Picture quality ranged from acceptable to a bit noisy on some days.
So this is an example of "reliable" UHF reception over 80 miles, albeit from high-building-to-high-building.
