We have only 4 VHF stations in our city ( Channels 4, 8, 11, 13) 1 french, 3 English). I purchased a $50 dollar indoor VHF "all band" antenna and the best reception I can get on channel 4 is a snow storm. The TV set is in our basement so I placed the antenna in our suspended ceiling. When I turn the antenna so channel 11 comes in clear as a bell I loose channel 8 as well as 4. Running a cable to our attic would be not be within my physical capabilities. Is there a strong all VHF band antenna that I could make that would work in our basement ceiling?

p.s. All the stations I am trying to receive are within 10 miles from our home.
