I like bow tie style antennas, but she has a VHF channel 7 that bow tie antennas are not likely to receive without an add on for VHF, or use a separate VHF antenna with a UVSJ.

Others can recommend a combo Yagi style that may be better suited for her.

PS. You can forget the $35 Wally World.
Since NBC was locally removed by DISH because NBC wouldn't pay to play anymore, that one channel is all she's looking to get back. If you can recommend a bowtie that would be great.

I also look forward to other replies so thanks in advance.

EDITED: I forgot to mention this will be in direct sunlight for the entire day here in west South Carolina. I've seen what that can do to plastics down here so keep that in mind.
