Option 1) To avoid the inevitable conflict regarding which way to aim the antenna, I'd suggest a single Antennacraft HBU-33 or Winegard HD7694 aimed toward the west. The exact direction will need to be fine tuned based on your opinion of the best line-up. You may be able to get stations as low as WYCW and still split two ways. Don't expect stations to the north, east or south.

Option 2) If you decide you need to see as many stations as possible, consider the possibility of two independent antenna systems. The second being a Winegard HD7698 on a rotator with a Winegard HDP-269 preamp. Either feed that signal to a single TV or double up the cabling and select the antenna of choice with an A/B switch at each set.

Obviously, you could build option 1 first, then decide.

Like most of us, you are faced with choices and compromises. It may be helpful to make a list of 'must have' stations.
