Pittsburgh is going to be a real problem for you in digital, as the signals are all in the negative noise-margin category. You will need to take extraordinary measures if you want to see the Pittsburgh and/or the Cleveland stations. Complicating the issue is that the Youngstown stations are quite strong in your area, making overloading a high-gain preamplifier a likely event. You will need a deepest-fringe UHF antenna such as an AntennasDirect 91XG or an AntennasDirect DB-8 or a Channel Master 4228HD. You should not need a preamplifier if you are using only 50' of RG-6u coax cable and are running only one TV set from the antenna, however, converting to RG-11 cable will yield a small improvement in available signal. There are no guarantees of success using such antennas with the local terrain and the distance that you are from the transmitters.
