Greetings,

You do have cause for concern as buildings and trees inhibit
television reception. Even otherwise strong signals can be
affected. I would suggest that you keep your antenna as far
away as possible from the home to your West and those pesky
trees. Since KMGH 7 and KUSA 9 are Hi VHF, you will need an
antenna that receives both UHF and Hi VHF. I would suggest
the Winegard 7694P. It is small, durable and reasonably powerful.
Use Rg6 cable, keeping the run as short as possible to ONE television,
at first. Once you get that completed, then you can add additional
televisions as desired. You should not need any amplification.
Grounding your antenna system helps reduce the possibility of strikes
and it also reduces possible interference. Attic mountings are usually
problematic, so you'll likely need some outdoor mount. Hope this
helps. Good Luck!
