For me it is, it might vary slightly for you.
Go to a signal-finding website like "Antennaweb.org". There are others as well. You can put in her address and it will tell you the direction to point the antenna. If you don't want to put in her full address, or it returns no results, using the zip code will pretty much get you the same thing. Run it with the "antenna will be mounted 30 feet or higher" even if it won't be. That will give you the most results so you can pick the best direction to try.
If you want to go the "all in one" route for an antenna that can be mounted outside or in your attic, this is the first one I tried and got pretty good results. You can find it on Amazon: McDuory Digital HDTV Outdoor Amplified Antenna - 150 Miles Range - Mounting Pole & 40 feet RG6 Coaxial Cable Included.
However, the pre-amp is in the antenna, so if it is in the attic, it might fry it come summer.
