30 miles out overload should not be a problem. I use a similar antenna in my attic and get signal out the wazoo at 8 miles. If all your desired stations are in the same direction, you don't need a rotator; a directional antenna will give you better selectivity than an omnidirectional one, especially in a crowded area like metro NYC. Also an omni will pick up more multipath (bad). Also our cable went out during the Super Bowl but we were able to watch it using the antenna!
