Definitely the wrong antenna. Like above said, will need at least a 60 mile rated one. You can use this website to see where TV towers are located. TV Fool

Look for the channels desired and then look in the at the distance and direction (azimuth). You should have a compass on your smartphone that will display magnetic north in order to determine the direction needed to point the antenna. While the channels desired may be way less than 60 miles, I'd still recommend one for that distance. The 60 mile antenna will either need to be mounted in the attic or outside as it will be somewhat large.
