A good antenna for our senior mobile home park

Hello

I hope someone will be able to point me in the right direction. I am the assistant manager of a senior mobile home park and I have been trying to find an antenna that I can recommend to our park residents that will pick up the local TV stations since most of the residents are on fixed incomes and can't afford Dish or Direct TV. Any assistance and recommendations would be appreciated. It would be used on the resident's mobile home to pick up local stations.

You have strong signal on lots of channels. The Channel Master 2016 seems to be a good fit for your residents. Have them aim their antenna at 321° to magnetic compass or 333° to True North.

The RCA ANT-751 is a similar competitor to the CM-2016.

Indoor antennas will have a great deal of trouble if the mobile home is sided with metal. The outdoor antennas will perform best if they are above the roof line by several feet.

Amplifiers and amplified antennas should be avoided, that would be wasted money at this location because there is plenty of signal power in the air already.
