The best antenna is going to be a roof mounted antenna on a mast.Not necessarily, even though that's often good advice. In an urban setting, there's usually plenty of gain, so sometimes a cheap 99 cent dipole wire is all that's needed for good reception. However, if multipath is an issue - which is common if you're among tall buildings - then a directional antenna might be necessary to minimize multipath distortion. However, you might then run the risk of overloading your tuner input. That can be remedied, but it's easiest to try the cheap dipole first.
