My cousin just purchased the C5 and could use help to determine which angle to point the antenna to maximize the channels. You guys helped me tremendously when I set mine up.

Any help would be appreciated.

Take a look at the manufacturers documentation (http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=3&cad=rja&ved=0CEEQFjAC&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antennasdirect.com%2Fcmss_files%2Fattachmentlibrary%2FC5_%2 520technical_%2520data_%2520with_uhf.pdf&ei=nuHCULryB8PfiAKC14Ao&usg=AFQjCNFIaWmnu6TaEIMFvnfqcVQEhNkFAw&sig2=E1IngBIO09DIOcMbi9-QPw) and you see that at VHF frequencies the antenna is rather directional. However, it's far less directional at UHF frequencies.

I would start with an aim point of about 220° then check left and right of there in small steps. You'll be looking for the best compromise.
