I have experimented with various placements, but cannot pick up many of the stations listed in green.

Suggestions greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Your location puts you at a bit of a disadvantage to start with, which calls for using a larger antenna than suggested by your reception report. I would use nothing smaller than an outdoor design such as the RCA ANT-751R, but would feel no guilt going larger if I could... (Ex. Antennacraft HBU-33, Winegard HD-7694P).

You'll get much better results if you can aim the antenna north west.
