I live in Gulfport, MS and am considering building an extra long range HDTV antenna to hopefully pick up stations in nearby Mobile and New orleans, both about 70 miles away. Since I don't want unsightly antennas poking up above the house, I'd like to put it in my attic.

Do y'all think I'm wasting my time due to the sheer distance? Can't get local channels on DirecTV and cable TV won't be at my new subdivision for at least a year.
