Ok, so I am buy or trying to choose an antenna for a family member who is in the boonies of NW Pennsylvania. About 30 out from the nnw transmitters of the Erie Broadcast area. No cable is even available out there. House faces nw on a hill with some woods surrounding the home. Rabbit ears inside work ok to get major networks but when weather is bad it stops and starts. Going by the info on the antenna website by the FEDs I need an antenna (coded for green reception) that can be easily mounted outdoors but does it need to be amplified or not? When I think I have found what works someone else will post on the Internet that it worked like crap. I do not understand all the info on the ratings and dbls listed on the fed site so I am totally lost. Any help would be appreciated. Don't think I need Omni or multi directional because the towers are near each other at the NNW location of 30 miles out.
