Just as I'd hoped, this gets me all the stations within my area very well, with no booster. Mounted mine in the attic, since there are no stations that I could get with a roof mount that aren't interfered with by another station at the same distance on the same frequency. Only complaint is that the screws to hold the block on to the frame stripped it out right away. Not a problem for me, but potentially a game changer if you're mounting outside in a windy area.
