Antenna Suggestions?

[tb525]

Hi all!
Trying to determine the best antenna for my situation. The TVFool analysis is:

Various online antenna selector apps suggest two Winegard's for my location, the HD7084P and the HD8200U. I'm sure either one would work just fine, but due to their large size and the high winds here, they may not be the best choice.

This location is very windy, especially in the Winter, when we'll have 20+ mph winds for days to weeks at a time.

Any suggestions for a smaller sized antenna?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

Both of the suggested antennas would be reasonable options if reception of WDTV-CBS, real channel 5 is of high priority. I see three other CBS affiliates on your report, each with better predicted signal levels.

A Winegard HD7698P is still a long antenna but not as wide. Aimed at about 80° it would offer reception of the major networks. I would suggest an Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamplifier also.

I doubt that either of them would pick up WDTV on channel 5. Go with GUM's suggestion

I agree with GUM , the HD7698P is a Strong and Sturdy antenna. Here are Strong and Sturdy antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html

Being from that area, you have no need to worry about WDTV. WTRF and KDKA will suffice for CBS, as all three carry the same NFL games. WTRF also carries SD sub channels of ABC and FOX. W30CD is the local translator for WNPB (PBS) from Morgantown.
