What would you expect a high VHF/UHF antenna to look like? UHF is
still on the air and they don't want to suggest it isn't usable right
now.

Having worked with Winegards since the mid '70s, they are conservative
in their gain numbers. I've seen folks 40 miles out take down their
biggest nearly new Radio Shack antenna and be blown away by the
improvement. I'm using a passive SquareShooter at 35 miles split 4
ways with flawless performance.
