At 60+ miles away you would do better with an antenna on the roof.
I'm lucky that I'm close enough to Ch 8 that it is strong even with UHF antenna.
Ch 13 receive it 50% of the time.
Ch 5 is a total loss.
I would like to have an outside antenna but I'm hindered physically from doing so. Other issues gutters on my house prevent securing a push up pole to house and roof is VERY steep which would make roof mount difficult to service.
