If all you want is several stations to watch for news and weather, you can simplify the system with a more compact UHF-only antenna such as the DB8. You will loose NBC on WESH's channel 11 signal, but they have applied for and received permission to construct a UHF 18 LD translator in Orange City. Once that facility is operational, you'll get all your Orlando stations with the DB8.
Situate your antenna so if has the least-obstructed view on the heading to Orlando's towers to your east-south-east. At 50+ miles, trees in the line of sight in last several hundred yards can turn the odds of reliable reception sharply against you.
Include a low-noise preamplifier in your setup for improved margin.
