Jay,
Here is a list of the digital stations in Baltimore and DC. I live near
Dulles airport and can get most of them with a winegard PR-4400 antenna
(http://www.winegard.com/offair/prostar1000uhf.htm) in my attic. You
should not need a 70' mast to pick them up, especially if you get a late
model (4th or 5th gen) receiver.

Any antenna suggestions for the house? I guess the days of the large=20
VHF/UHF antennas I used to put on seventy foot masts and in 90 foot pine

What would one go with - a full spectrum UHF antenna?
Please forgive my ignorance. I'm unable to read all the list postings as

Lastly, can you or anyone steer me in a direction where I might I which=20
DC/Baltimore area stations are broadcasting DTV at full power at this
