Pomona IL area - antenna help

Can anyone suggest a specific antenna that is likely to work in this loation?
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...d243249a01fb59

Roof mount mast with rotor, 25 feet above grade.
I desire virtual channels 3, 6, 8, 12 and 23.

Background Info
Before the change from analog to digital broadcast TV signals, I was able to receive 3, 6, 8, 12 & 23 with a roof mounted antenna. To get clear reception on all channels, I used a rotor (analog days.) I have not used an antenna since before the digital age.

Locality notes
This is a rural area. It's hilly and forested, but I am on high ground.
I have a rotor, and the house is wired for rotor controls.

Thanks, Mike

It's a good thing you have a rotor with those different directions. I hope your tuner can add a channel after scan.

The Winegard HD7694P looks right for you.

If it can't add a channel, you get tired of waiting for the rotor to aim the antenna, you have more than one TV, or you need to do unattended recording, you would need a very complex antenna system like a CATV tower.
