The 20 dollar radio shack uhf outdoor antenna is excellent. The Shack
doent do to many things well,,,but antennas are one of their strong
points for sure.
If you want a combo antenna, and have the space for it, thier largest
uhf/vhf antenna is also great. I have one of these, and can get all
the digital stations from our sister city Tucson Az - its almost 150
miles to the south of the Phoenix location I am in.
