As reported by Jay Cordova on this list, from his
brother's house in Sterling VA. No special tower, nor
does he live in a high rise apartment facing in an
ideal direction.

Is that the antenna that's facing toward Phildelphia
instead of Baltimore, i.e. in the opposite direction,
from which you cannot get all of Baltimore NTSC
stations, and most come with weak snowy signal?
With NTSC, most people who can get a "watchable" TV
signal indoors opt for an outdoor antenna, simply
because the indoor antenna is not good enough for
regular viewing. I would be among those. That's
some 13 miles from the local towers.
