Antenna advice for San Martin, CA

I spent time in the RV park near San Martin in 2008 (Maple Leaf). I was able to get pretty good reception from both SF/San Jose and Salinas.
The antenna was a Clear Stream C4 -- looks funny but works (ordered on the internet). I had occasional drop outs that I think was caused by aircraft. It was mounted to my 5th wheel. Costco has a Clear Stream C2 that might work?

A 24 db amp was used too (available at Fry's) .
I could not receive NBC channel 11, but was able to pick up NBC channel 8 in Salinas.

Other antennas worked too and Fry's now carries an assortment. If you happen to have a roof antenna now and it worked for analog, it will work for digital too. Nothing special about antennas for digital except the antenna should be UHF capable for reception of most digital broadcasts.

Good Luck and Happy OTA
