Need Advice please

Hello everyone. I need help choosing the right antenna setup for my location. I am located at 08865 and looking to receive signals originating out of NYC. According to the research I have done this is approximately 60 mile plus from my location. What equipment do I need to make this possible? Thanks

WOW! Problem is that Phillipsburg has big hills between NYC and you, making NYC a very difficult proposition. Even Philadelphia is going to be a long-shot with an outdoor antenna. I'm afraid that even with a 50' tower, you will still have a hard time getting NYC reliably with the best available antennas. If I had your specific address, the situation may look a bit better: you can PM it to me, and I can run a scan based on your specific address.

Do I actually live in a black hole? I know that receiving a signal from NYC is a stretch, but I just want to verify at all if it is even possible before I put too much time and effort into it. I'm going to PM you my address now. Thank you for taking the time to look into this!

Unfortunately, YES, you DO live in a black hole for TV reception. Hey, it happens!
