I've not had anything resembling good luck with any kind of indoor set-up. We used to have an antenna that was about the width and thickness of a hockey puck, and about 5-6 feet long designed for mounting on the eave of the house. Seems like it was called The Stick Antenna, but a quick googling reveals something else. Anyway, with a cheap signal amplifier we were good for around thirty miles or so.

I can highly recommend a 45-foot mounting height, and the $300 outdoor-type antenna Radio Shack used to sell, and a signal amplifier.

14 feet on top of that set-up is my scanner antenna.

We pick up Mars.

Did I mention the signal amplifier?
