As for signal strength when TV was Analog goes in my area I have no idea what it was like with an actual rooftop or tower antenna goes, because when I was growing up my parents only ever had rabbit ears on their TV or else an amplified TV top UHF/VHF/FM Antenna that had a "fine tuning" knob and or for a short period of time an outdoor antenna hung up in the attic of the house suspended from the rafters with shoe string for ease of antenna rotation for best reception.

My aunt and uncle who used to live in a house down in the rural part of Warsaw, Indiana used to have a tower antenna with a rotor but I don't remember how good their reception was because we only visited them for holidays and I was too young to remember it, they used to have that hooked up to an old Zenith Console TV through an old Hi-Fi VCR from 1989.

Then my grandparents had a tower antenna on the side of their old Farmhouse in Culver, Indiana that was hooked up to an old Sylvania TV from the early 1980s through a VCR from the mid 1980s that I don't remember the make of, and they had that tower installed until about the early 2000s when they took it down to redo the siding on the house (it had old stucco on the outside they then replaced with vinyl siding), and they never reinstalled it and from what little TV viewing time I remember enjoying with my grandfather when I was growing up, we used to watch the Hoosier Lottery (which was a locally produced show for the state of Indiana that was part of Indiana's Lottery Program), Unsolved Mysteries, Matlock, and some other related shows, they got pretty decent reception for being about 30 miles away from the nearest local stations, and they didn't have a rotor that I know of.

Anyways so as far as TV Reception goes I think that with a proper Rooftop antenna installed with a good rotor setup I think I should get pretty decent channel coverage because I'm a lot closer to the nearest Local stations than my aunt and uncle and my grandparents were, and I'm also a lot closer to Chicago than my Grandparents were (referring to reception of WGN out of Chicago.)
