RV antenna
I have a King antenna that is at least 10 years old. Reception is not great. Would there be much improvement if I purchased a newer model, the King OA8300

Your call, but I've got no problems with the old-style batwing antenna on my RV. Yes, it's a bit "directional" and if you are in a new location it takes some time to figure out which is the best position to point it, but they last forever, never fail and work well.
I keep bookmarked on my cell phone (Google) the web site (OK you can probably get an app for it too), I just prefer the web site version:

Punch in your current address, or partial address, or zip code and a map pops up showing where the singles are coming from. Work like a champ. The only problem is, you need to carry a compass with you so you know where North is. So, we carry a simple Boy Scout type compass in the camper all the time. Got it from Dick's Sporting Good's I think, years ago.
