Hi,
I am helping my in laws with Antenna issues. They live in Itasca, IL, which I believe is close to Chicago.

From what I can tell, no one really cares about the 20.7 station, so what they are likely looking for is a blue vhf/uhf antenna. It is a suburb without a lot of tall buildings.
Right now, the weakest station appears to be CBS, which doesn't get picked up at all. All of the station seems to be from a single direction (Chicago?).
What they are looking for is a indoor antenna. What about the Winegard SS-3000 Amplified Indoor UHF/VHF Antenna. Is there a better one for this situation? I was hoping that someone from Itasca or nearby can chime in.
