She is very limited due to being in a ground floor apartment.
Just looking to see what the best indoor antenna is out there for her and if she has a shot at getting, at least the main networks.

Looks pretty sketchy if I am reading this right.
Hello, Waddo66. Thank you for the signal report.

It doesn't look like an ideal location to me either, indoors and on the ground floor. But, the signals are fairly strong and in the same direction. A lot will depend where she is in the building and the type of construction. You will just have to try it.

This is an image of the signal report:



It looks like she would need a BIG antenna for VHF-Low channel 5, but a report from rabbitears.info shows WTVF CBS also on real channel 25:



The most difficult channel will be WSMV on VHF-High channel 10 and it's the weakest one.

I suggest you try a GE 29884, which requires assembly, an Antennas Direct C2V, or an Antennas Direct C2MAX which is replacing the C2V. If you get the C2MAX, add the accessory reflector.
