Which tuner to get and getting the most from it. Thank God, for the radio!

Re: Antennas Poll

New York apartment antenna -- can be discreetly mounted on the windowsill:

Half-wave dipole (RS rabbit ears)
fed to low-loss 1:1 voltage balun (broadcast type)
fed to co-ax
fed to variable attenuator (1k pot, well shielded)
fed to Mac MR-77
with an old Tektronics scope to monitor the RF goings-on

past option: Chris Scott notch filter -- if you need one, he does a superb job.

I get 35 stations very listenable and about another 5 marginal with this mounted on the 22nd floor of a lower Manhattan building oriented for NE/SW.
