And if you have concrete, stucco over metal, or anything else metal, don't expect much.

If you were installing outdoors I'd start with an ANT-751 aimed north, and then keep nudging it west to see if you get the stations at 313 degrees. The ones in green are pretty strong, so it's possible.

Thanks Jake! Out of curiosity, what prompted you to suggest an ANT-751 for starters? RCA is showing very little in terms of technical data on this one. Is there a reason the suggested antenna doesn't include a reflector?
