We could aim it at any of the 4 local Cities. Chicago & Milwaukee were choice, but we could spin it around and get Madison, or Rockford as well, so we had a wide variety of local news stations to watch, and endless programming.

You were in this area! You remember the ghosts Channel 2 Chicago (WBBM) used to SUFFER in this area? I even remember when they raised their antenna on the John Hancock Tower to TRY and overcome the ghosting.
I will check out the address. I think the tower I installed is still there. Now that you mention it, we used watch Rockford and Madison as well.
