And fortunately Florida is flat as a pancake, which makes things work a bit better if you just elevate your antenna marginally.

And yes, "Antenna Man" has great videos on YouTube that explains alot, and reviews antennas, so you can get a good idea of what you can expect as far as performance before you buy.
