I have a nice one, but since everything went digital, it won't come in. When we built the house 4 years ago, I was hoping, but no.... It is probably just under that 70 mile mark from our house to the station in Eau Claire. Annoying.
Have you tried an indoor antenna with an amplifier? Some of them claim to pick up stations from several hundred miles away.
Short of raising it 50 feet above the roof, we have the best we could get 4 years ago.
Don't you live in Florida? I'm in the Jacksonville area this week for hurricane relief. I had forgotten that the Pack is in Jacksonville next weekend. Problem is it's the day after I leave!
Southwest Florida i considered in the Miami and Tampa markets so we get those games first.
Leave? Where are you going?
I am in Jacksonville doing hurricane relief for two weeks. I return back to home (New Mexico) on the 26th.

Hey I’m down here too. I’ll be here till November 15th though. Considering going to the Jags game through Air Force ITT.
One cool stat from the Arizona game was that whopping 7 Packers rushed the ball, and 9 caught passes. Heck, even elevated PS player FB Andrew Beck got a target.
The Packers are spreading the responsibility for production around. On D we have rotations at all position groups, depending on situation and formation. Very few players never come off the field, or are stuck on "STs only" -duty.
In the recent Pack-a-Day podcast, Mike Wahle pointed out an important benefit that grows out of our share-the-wealth approach: Almost every player active on game day has a high likelihood to see actually meaningful snaps, and thus has a chance to show what they can bring and put good stuff on film. That's some helluva motivation for especially for the back half of the team (even PS players) when it comes to practice and game prep. Even if you're WR5 or ILB4, you GOTTA prep, 'cause if there's a package where your skillset can be utilized, GB will utilize it, and you don't wanna blunder your opportunities. And within position groups everyone is competing.
I think this also helps with team spirit and accountability. Our WRs will run their clearing routes and run block, 'cause they can expect others to help them when it comes to their turn to shine.
Yesterday Troy Aikman blasted the Cowboys WRs for selfishness and sloppiness, saying “I see guys lazy coming off the line of scrimmage. Sometimes they run. Usually if they do, it’s because they’re anticipating they’re going to get the football on that play, but if they’re not, they don’t. And it all ties together. I’m not impressed with that part of it.”
I'm real glad our coaches have managed to instill quite something else here. Something that can grow into something special, especially out of a team this young.
