I live in Fenny, and Orlando for me is 113 degrees on a compass (Southeast). If you have an iPhone they have a compass app included.
To have the best chance of receiving over the air signals, you need to have the antenna outside, mounted as high as possible, and pointing towards the direction of the towers. For me that is Orlando, but if you are further north and have a better view to Ocala, you can try that. I don't, so I've never tried it. That's about 330 degrees Northwest.
I have a large directional UHF antenna in my attic connected to a pre amp booster, and when I scan, I come back with 70 to 80 channels. One time I got 90! I've posted the specifics in other threads, just search on the word "antenna" in the forum search. Others have posted their thoughts as well in those forums, so good info.
Good luck, and bless you for trying to help your friend!

I have an iPhone also, and I can open my Compass app, but how do you know that Orlando is 113°.
