Is there any chance.

I live out in the sticks , and looking at my report I was wandering what if any antenna I could
Use to pick up some of the stations in Indianapolis.
Right now I recently purchased a 30 foot tower, and just received the mount.
The old antenna (not sure of brand or model) that was on the tower is hooked up
And sitting about 15 feet in the air where I have one of my FTA dishes mounted.
And just as it is I am receiving 5 stations.....not bad for an old beat up, and busted antenna.
It was damaged from when the guy who owned the tower just let it all fall to the ground
When he was taking it down.
Now my question is what model of antenna would give me the best possible chance of
receiving some of the Indy stations.
So far I am looking at the Denney's stacker antenna or the Channel master 3671.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
We are currently moving to drop our Dish subscription.
As I said earlier I have 3 FTA dishes set up -a 36" , a 6 footer and a 12 foot mesh.
And any OTA stations would be a plus.
If I don't have a hope of getting any more than the 5 channels I currently receive with my
Beat up old antenna, I will just stick with my current setup.
I am just doing some homework before the tower is set in concrete.
Thanks.

The Tv transmitters are Close at , 33.5 , 33.6 , 39.0 , 24.7 , miles.

The tvfool report you have posted is a Picture of a tvfool report.

Please make and post 3 Live and Active tvfool reports , not pictures of tvfool reports.

Post Live and Active reports at , 30 , 50 , 70 , feet antenna heights above ground.

A Live and Active 30 feet and At higher antenna heights , might show improved signal strengths , and change the 2 Edge Path Obstructions=hills/mountains , to 1 Edge or even LOS=Line Of Sight , receptions.
