Looking for something that doesn't need to be replaced every 2 years due to the salt water eating it up.

An indoor antenna isn't an option due to metal roof.

I have a 4 door RCA one that picks up a bunch of stuff. It's an outdoor one I have mounted in the attic. Is this going to be mounted inside? How often is the camp used? Could you wrap a garbage bag around it when leaving to protect it? Most of them are aluminum so rust shouldn't be too much of an issue.

Look into tying it into your roof.

I had a huge antenna on my house that picked up stations from multiple cities. It was just a standard Yagi TV antenna and its mostly all aluminum. Take the nuts bolts were steel though. I bet if you coated the bolts and connections with liquid electrical tape or similar it would last many years even in the salt.

I just took mine down last night because it was broken in half by a tornado. Its well over 25 years old and was still working fine until the tornado got it.

I've got one of these on my camp that is tied to my Directv account at the house.

Works great.
