Antenna Recomendations

I am looking to leave cable service but would still like to access local stations. I ran my signal analysis and included the link. I need some advice on how to procede. I think I need a rooftop antenna. If so can anyone tell me what type of antenna will best receive the signals in my area?

Additional infomation

Continuing to look in to it and I am sure I need a rooftop antena. Reading through the forums has been very helpful. The stations that I am hoping to receive(KGO, KPIX, KTVU, KOFY, and one or more of the PBS: KQED, KQEH, KCSM) have signals in the yellow to red range. When I map out these station's signals the majority show my house in purple to violet cast. I am hoping that with work and the right equipment I can get these on our television. I have read a lot of recommendations for Winegard HD 7698p and HD 7082p and am wondering if one of these will work well for me. Would I also need a pre amp and/or rotator?
