Seeking small outdoor directional antenna

[sos811]

Hi, I live in Los angeles, 35mi from all stations in 1st floor apt bldg with tiny patio without mast..
The terk HDTVa worked great for my tv when placed on my patio outdoors but did not work inside.
What do you suggest for small outdoor antenna with same power and directional status or can I just put my terk outdoors in a plastic bag or tape sensitive areas of it??
Thanks, Sos811

Your Terk won't do much good after Feb 17, 2009, when Los Angeles will have 4 VHF digital TV stations. It worked for UHF, but won't suffice for VHF. Can you get permission to put an antenna on the roof? You won't need much of an antenna, but getting it on the roof will make all the difference.
