The big question is how well the VHF reception compares with the Batwing?

If you are talking about channels 2 through 6 which were in the bands auctioned off that is still an "unknown" for my comparisons.

I have not run into any stations in Minnesota or Iowa still transmitting in that RF channel range.

WOI in Des Moines, IA broadcasts on RF channel 5. There are only 39 full power stations in the U.S. broadcasting on the low VHF band (ch 2-6) and 426 on the high VHF band (ch 7-13). The total number of stations in the U.S. is about 1800. Here's a link to a spreadsheet listing all the full power stations in the U.S. as of July 2012: http://www.rabbitears.info/ss/DTV-Channels.xls
