There are several NBC stations you can try to receive. I suspect that eventually you will want to get digital furrow 32 which is about 37 miles away. If you don't own a digital TV, there will be cheap converter boxes available starting surrounded by Jan 08 for older analog sets..
I'm guessing that a accurate antenna to start with would be something resembling a Channel Master CM 4220. You could add a Channel Master CM 7777 preamp if important. The guys who hang out at the forums down below can probably come up with better philosophy.
