If ABC is important to you, I recommend a Winegard HD8200U or a CM-5020. These are big, but needed if you want to get ABC (WPVI, ch-6, VHF-lo) without a rotor. You would aim to 297-degrees magnetic, and have a high probability of getting ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CW, PBS. If you want a slightly smaller antenna (i.e. one without VHF low elements), the Winegard 7698P may work, but you would need a rotor and you would be getting your ABC on channel-7 (VHF-hi) at 22-degrees. In either case, you'll need a mast mounted pre-amp like the CM-7778 or RCA-TVPRAMP1,especially since FOX is way down at NM=6 dB.
