You do not need a deep fringe UHF antenna: all your UHF Hartford stations are very strong, and can be received with a small 2 or 4 bay UHF antenna. WTNH is a VHF station, weak to be sure, but available with the right antenna. What we choose depends on whether or not you want the Springfield stations. If you do, the I would use a Stellar Labs 30-2430 8 bay antenna with one panel aimed at 27 degrees to pick up WGGB and WGBY. I would aim the other panel at 150 degrees to pick up NBC, FOX and CW.
To pick up WTNH, use a Stellar Labs 30-2476 deep fringe high-band VHF antenna aimed due south at 182 degree. Combine the two antennas using a Stellar Labs 33-2230 UHF-VHF combiner, and, if you plan to use a preamplifier, I would suggest using a Winegard Boost XT outdoor preamplifier, which is quite immune to overload, has a low noise figure, and is reasonably priced. That preamp would allow you to power 4 TV sets easily when used with a splitter.
