I never had a whole lot of luck with those small foot antennas inside my trailer. We usually find ourselves out in the woods somewhere camping off the power grid.
I use the OTA BATWING and it picks up 6-36 digital stations just about anywhere we go here on the East side of the US from the local towns. Up on SKYLINE DRIVE at Loft MTN camp site we go to alot I pickup over 80 channels for different directions looking towards the VA side of the mtn. These are many duplications of channels but gives you many directions to pick the best signals from the various towns that are transmitting the NATL BROADCAST digital signals.
I did a test with using the BATWING verses the JACK antenna and the JACK antenna seemed to give me the strongest signal but was more directional. I would have to move the antenna sometimes to pick up all the local town transmitted signals that were obviously located in different parts of the local town. The BATWING is more wide beam I guess and maybe not as good signal strength wise but I still got great HDTV reception and not have to keep moving the antenna to pick up different stations form the same local town direction.
Works good for me picking up full screen full high def HDTV signals over the 'FREE' to the public NATL BROADCAST network...
