Based on your current data, I'd recommend a Winegard HD7698P aimed at Pittsburgh. If you don't care about WPCW (CW) and WQED (PBS), you can use an Antennas Direct XG-91 aimed at Pittsburgh. Either way, the locals are strong enough to come in off-axis.
IF, and ONLY if the NMs improve to at least near zero for the Akron/Cleveland stations, I would use a rotator with the Winegard antenna.
Good luck!

Ok, so
here is a more exact reading. I zoomed in all the way and clicked right on my chimney.. I then put the antenna height at 25'.. I have a two story house so I'm assuming that is about the height the antenna will be it..
I don't think the Cleveland/Akron stations are going to be possible. Also, why did you say if I don't care about WPCW (CW)? Isn't that really close to KDKA which is the channel I'm most interested in?
Can you tell me why you suggest uni-directional antennas instead of the two that I was initially thinking about? I don't doubt your knowledge, I'm just trying to get a better understanding..
Thanks again for the help! Those tvfool tools are amazing! Would be even better if you could select the antenna you want and see the results!
