Antenna Help

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...3e4740b731e12b

Could someone give me recommendation for antenna.
Antenna will be mounted on the roof of a ranch house so about 20 feet above ground.

Thank You.

You have options available to you.

Basic and simple: An RCA ANT-751 pointed east would offer all the major networks except ION. (All of the signals in the 'green' section of your TVFR) You would not need any amplifier to drive as many as four (or more) sets.

If you have need or desire for more... please be a bit more detailed regarding your specifications, so we can tailor or advise. It would be helpful to know how many sets will be connected and if you are doing the work, how you rate your skill and experience level.

Getting all the major networks is what I was looking. So RCA ANT-751 will work.
Is this directional antenna, how wide is the reception angle?

The ANT-751 is more directional than old fashioned rabbit ears... but it is quite broad, it's going to be quite forgiving when aiming.
