My old antenna fell down last fall. I've been spending a lot of time researching what I would need in order to once again receive solid OTA signals. I replaced all of the wiring in the house with quad shielded RG6 cable. The new antenna will be split between 4 TVs. I also have a Winegard AP-8700 pre amp sitting in the box that can used, if needed. I recently inspected and reinforced my 30 foot tower. I just got up enough nerve to climb it and completely remove the old antenna. That all said, I just need an antenna to install. Here is my report:

I will not be installing a rotor. I also want to stick with a combo antenna as opposed to separate antennas. Size and weight also needs to be manageable,*preferably* less than or equal to the size of a Winegard HD-7696. I mainly only care about getting the major networks, but I would love to pic up some extra stations (I used to get Ion Network and even Detroit with my old antenna). I do get the major local stations already with a small indoor amplified antenna, but I am tired of the signal cutting off every time someone walks in front of it or turns on the microwave.
Any advice is appreciated.
