Default Antenna
I have a Lava HD8008 omni-directional antenna, fits the description given by the OP. Installed it in attic above the garage. when it worked, we could get 45-50 channels, but it turned out we could not get reception about 1/3 of the time. I believe it would work better if we could have placed it just inside our gable at S or E end. However my front gable faces W, and too much trouble for me to get to my back, east, gable. I then purchased an RCA directional antenna from Walmart, rated at 70 miles, installed it in attic, pointed about 112 degrees (toward Orlando), and it works great.
I paid $80 at Amazon for the Lava HD8008, and I would let it go for $50. As I alluded, I think it would work either outside, or in a gable facing S or E. Message me if interested.
