I wonder if there is any similar place in Arizona, but now you've given me the idea to ask you to be a "personal shopper" if the need arises.

Seriously, when I moved to the east side of Grayslake, IL, in 2000, I was on the edge of a bad TV ghost radial from stations reflecting among the tallest Chicago buildings. The local Radio Shack refused to sell me a UHF-only antenna (that was small enough to move to various spots in my attic) because they said people always returned them. I got one at Chester plus the items to multiplex it with my all-band TV antenna, which could be aimed but had to sit dead center in the attic, unfortunately a bad spot for one UHF station.
