HD Antenna for the camp

I would suggest this Antenna. I don't live in that area, but in rural south LA I get ~50 channels with it. It's bi-directional, so you have to play with it to see what direction to point it in to get most channels. Also, I have mine on about a 15ft poll. It definitely makes a difference how high up you place it

Yeah, you need to know if you're going to point your antenna in one main direction, like toward BR, or in multiple directions, BR & Natchez. Antennas work better with line of site towards the towers you want to receive, so if you're right next to a big ridge or dense trees, it might not work very well. There are free apps for your phone, like Antenna Point, and you can stand at your camp and know exactly what's the best direction to aim your antenna and how far away the towers are. I use this one in Prairieville.

HD Antenna

All antennas are HD. Its a marketing gimmick to say that an antenna is HDTV. If you are 5 miles from a tv station then a coat hanger would likely give you 1080p HDTV. Its the signal that sent thats HD, not the antenna.

Thats probably going to be a tough area. You'll need the best antenna they make to consistently get reception. Natchez only has a FOX station. So you are going to be pulling from either BR or maybe Alec.

60-80 mile range. Indoor? Outdoor?

Outdoor for sure. Try and get it up as high as possible. TVFool.com can give you some idea of how high you need to elevate it and the distance of the channels. But the only way to know for sure is to set up the antenna. If you have a hill between you and the stations you're trying to get, then thats not good at all.

I recommend the Winegard HD8200U

Thanks everyone for the info. Bought one at Best Buy. Going put it 20 feet up tomorrow

Go pull one down from someone's house, thats what we did.

Get the one you can climb, best sticks for a loc-on ever.

Update. Bought the 129.00 antenna from Best Buy. 70 mile range. Put it 20 feet up and get 18 channels! All the networks and some other channels I've never heard of. All is good!
