You want to make sure the specs for the antenna are such that you have a reasonable chance of pulling in the stations from Orlando, that is about 60+ miles away. This distance typically requires a pretty good sized antenna for enough gain. Higher is better since the curvature of the earth is an issue. It is pretty hard to defeat physics.
