The 9521 is popular, but it is considered light duty. If you are only going to use it for initial aim for NYC and leave it there, it would probably do the job. If you are going to rotate the antenna a lot, you will need a ham rotator, but they are more expensive.

If you have a rotator, your TV must be able to add a channel after scan, or you will need to rescan after changing direction. If there is more than one TV, who gets to decide the antenna direction?

Try the antenna without a preamp first. If Fox and NBC are a problem, consider the Juice preamp from Antennas Direct because it is resistant to overload.
Thanks Rabbit!
Would there be a way for me to avoid getting a roto all together if I used separate antennas aimed in different locations. If yes, what would you recommend?
