You got what GUM was trying to say, except the part about fixed equalling directional. The "local" antenna will be a low-gain antenna like an RCA ANT-769 that remains sensitive over a broad range of angles. It might be possible to find an aim with such an antenna that will catch all your stations in green and most of the ones in yellow. To chase the weaker stations, you will need a higher gain antenna, which is sensitive over a narrower range of angles. A rotator will be needed to aim that antenna to the stations you want.

We like to avoid having to recommend rotors, as using one will add complexity to real-life use.
