Hasn't this been talked about on the list several times?

Look, if all the stations *after* the switch over end up in the UHF 
band, then you can use a short antenna.  If not, you will need a longer 
one.  Note, some HD stations will change frequency after the switch 
over.  So what works now may not then.

I'm 30 to 40 miles from the transmitters and can usually get all but one 
VHF HDTV station with a stick of metal about a meter long.  That station 
is due to change to a higher frequency after February.

Note, channel numbers no longer relate to frequency for HDTV.
