Having trouble getting VHF channels at my camp. Ive tried several different antennas and can only pick up UHF. Any ideas?

How far away are the transmission towers?

You may want to look into getting a Nextgen TV tuner. The signal is much stronger and a lot of the stations will use the same tower, so you won't need a multi-directional antenna anymore.

Use this to get an idea of where to point an antenna

Keep in mind that Hi-VHF/UNF combo antennas are easy to find. If one of the stations you want to get is still low VHF that makes it a bit harder, but those are rare now.

Here is a site for antennas. https://store.antennasdirect.com/outdoor-tv-antennas.html

You can actually find a few of those or similar at Wal-Mart, Home Depot, etc.

And distance can be an issue, obviously.

All of the digital over the air broadcasts are in the UHF spectrum FWIW.
