The larger issue today is the hash created by switch-mode power supplies in various devices, cheap LED bulbs, cheap CFLs, etc
Circa 1946-1947 and well into the 1960s, the noise level was substantially lower and you could get reasonable reception at fairly substantial distances with little more than a pair of rabbit ears.
Hell, we have a cousin who lived in Charlevoix, Michigan in the northern lower (he was a captain on a lake freighter). He could routinely pick up the Detroit stations with a massive outdoor antenna and fairly simple mast mounted preamp. We're talking 200+ miles as the crow flies. Those days are over.
Get your antenna high, away from any other electronic devices, and pray to the TV gods for reasonable reception.
Here is a TV Fool report for your rough location:

You should be able to pick up at least two to five stations with little trouble.
