Greetings, Unfortunately, there is no one antenna that will fit all your needs
except for the Winegard 8200. The problem with that antenna is it's size and
the long elements. It may not hold up well with your weather conditions. I offer
an alternative. I'd try a 8 Bay UHF only antenna, like the MCM 30-2430 or similar
Channel Master. I point one array at NYC and the other at Philly. See what you
get. If you aren't happy with the results, I'd point both panels at NYC or Philly
and check your results. That antenna should give you all the UHF stations, even the
hard to get ones, like WLIW. For VHF I'd go with one of the MCM Hi-VHF antennas.
Those antennas should get you all the full power hi-VHF stations from Philly and NYC.
They should work on some of the stronger low VHF signals as well. You would need
to test each antenna in each direction and then configure your system with or without
a rotor. I'd avoid any amplifier or preamp until you are certain you really need one.
The MCM antennas are fairly well made and inexpensive... Good Luck!
