Only care about those first 6 channels. All in the same direction within 10 mi LOS. Will be on the 17th floor of a condo with North facing windows and balcony. Would an indoor antenna suffice? Could also put it outside on the balcony. Should be fairly simple to pick up those channels right?

Thanks!

If you can get a clear view toward the west, this should be easy.

Consider the Antennas Direect SR8 or ClearStream1.

Resist the urge to use an amplifier of any sort, you have plenty of raw signal power in the air. An amplifier, external or built into the antenna may overload, leaving you with less reliable reception.
