A simple solution for much of the San Diego area is a Winegard HD1080.

A premium solution for your exact location would be a 4-bay UHF facing 83° (compass) and a high-VHF pointing at 293° (compass). Combine the two using a UVSJ.

4-bay antennas:
Antennacraft U-4000
Antennas Direct DB4e
Channel Master CM-4221
Winegard HD-4400

high-VHF: Antennacraft Y5713

UVSJ:
Pico Macom PM-UVSJ
Radio Shack Model: 15-2586

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)

Thanks for the quick response....as you can guess, I'm in the market for an antenna, so I can dump Cox Cable. Your info should be of help,as the area I'm in is a "special needs" area!

"Special Needs" area

LOL...yes, it's a special needs area. I'm in a hole (valley) with foothills surrounding on all sides, so difficult to receive stations with any regularity. That's why I went to cable in the first place, but they've gotten so out-of-control with their pricing that I've decided to switch back. I'm sure that the new antennas are far superior to the old and I'm hoping for better reception.
I know that I won't get all of the stations that I get with cable, but I'm sick of paying them well over $100.00 monthly, for stuff I don't even watch!!!

Re: special needs... That's why TVFool is so useful. You're not as bad off as you thought.
