Here is a standard roof antenna:

Which end of the antenna is supposed to be pointed in the direction of the
signal source? The left end (the end with the the longests elements) or
the
right end (the end with the shortest elements)?


The short elements (UHF) goes to the front. Look at some of your neighbors
antennas to see what direction to aim it. You may have to fine tune it's
direction a bit.

If you go to www.antennaweb.org, it will give you compass bearings for
all the stations you can receive. Then it's a simple matter of getting
up on the roof with a compass and accurately pointing the antenna per
the compass.
