Antenna choices for Kentucky south of Owensboro

[Dgtr55]

Hi, trying to decide on an antenna for my area and really don't know where to start. Here is my tvfool report.

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wrapper&Itemid=29&q=id%3d5b9486f31cd3e4.

I live in a small town in a neighborhood. No restrictions on antennas. One and a half story house. I plan on mounting it on top of my house, hopefully mounted to the chimney. Chimney is only used for exhaust for my gas furnace. Should be at least 25 ft. in the air. I have no prior antenna installation (formerly had directv). So this will be a completely new install. It will be higher than most houses in the neighborhood but it is an old neighborhood so there are a lot of mature tall trees around. Any help or suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
