Hello all,

New here and was hoping for some suggestions on antennas. Will be mounting approximately 30' above ground on the roof. I am currently using a small, amplified directional antenna (Quantum FX, I believe), which was given to me. The only other equipment I currently have is a spool of RG6 cable. I have been looking at Winegard models 7694P, as well as 7697P.

We are located in a valley close to a creek be and currently I am able to bring in channel 9, 26, 39, and 46 with only occasional interruption; 6, 17, and 35, with frequent interruption.

Below is a link to a report for my location. Any thoughts/suggestions would be appreciated!

In order to pick up an ABC station you need an antenna with low band capability. The Winegard HD 7084 would be a good choice. Aim it at Philly. Add a TVPRAMP-1R.

Ok thanks! I am seeing that the 7084 is tuned for channels 2-69, whereas 7694 and 7697 are tuned for 7-69.
