He should be able to get it. I have the same situation here with a Ch. 17 and Ch. 18. Ch. 18 is a green signal out of KC at 35 miles while Ch. 17 is a very weak red with a NM of minus 8 or so of Columbia. I get Ch. 17 from Columbia frequently at night and in the morning.

The best antenna for this channel would be the CM 3023. Having compared that one with the 91xg and also a MXU 59 from Antennacraft, I found the CM 3023 from Channel Master has the best gain on the lower channels (yes, better than the Winegard 8800) with decent adjacent channel rejection.
