I suggest a Winegard HD7697P , should be enough signal for 2 Tv's.

one more question....
 
thanks, just ordered what you suggested. do you think an amp will be needed or should the antenna suffice alone? i really appreciate you sharing your expertise.

If the antenna is behind trees at 60 miles, your UHF reception will likely fail. You'll need one of these unless you can get a clear an unobstructed view to the southern horizon:

A pre-amplifier is strongly recommended in any event.

If an amplifier is needed then Winegard AP8700 preamp
