best possible indoor antenna

Does it matter whether you use the Dynalab horizontally or vertically?

And, what about those "powered" antennae? Is that largely BS? The Dynalab is a hundred bucks (not bad, in the high-end world!), but there are a zillion even more discrete units out there for much less.

Dyna-lab whip is omni-directional when vertical, highly directional when horizontal.

I recently purchased the GODAR GIA and was totally amazed at how much better it was at pulling in weak signals from previously unlistenable stations. List price is $65 or so, but it can be purchased at CCRANE.COM for $55 shipped. By the way, I have absolutely no connection with either company.

The best indoor antenna I ever used, other than the TV antenna in the attic, was the Day Sequerra indoor antenna, easily besting everything else I tried. It wasn't as good as the attic-mounted Antenna or in the same league as the roof-mounted one I eventually got. But if you're in an apartment and have no other option, and can find one used, it was the best I ever found for that application.

There's been two discussions on this in the last couple weeks...do a search...
