Antenna Recommendation?
 
Help guys. I am a total newbie to this. Here is the link to my analysis.

Signal report

Radar report

I need a antenna recommendation, and perhaps a place to get it at a fair price. Any other tips would be greatly appreciated as far as mounting and installation goes. Thanks in advance!!!

Is the house a 2 or even a 3 story house ? Is there a tower or windmill ? The reason I am asking is the higher the antenna is the stronger the signals is from Atlanta. Go to the >Start MAPS< part of tvfool and put in antenna heights of 20 , 30 , 40 , 50 feet , also select the current plus pending stations. The reference signal noise margin for a reliable reception is 0 NM (dB) , the higher the number the better , the lower the number the worse. . Ok this is with the latatuide and longitude reading. . The address of 1707 hiway 34 shows much higher readings and antenna hight is less important. . This is the way living in hilly country is. Even so it's still a good idea to get the antenna up to clear the trees.

My house is just a 1 story but it does have a very high roof. I am willing to add a tall mounting pole or even mount the antenna in a tree but I need to know what antenna to buy.



No tower or windmill

A winegard HD7696P http://www.solidsignal.com pointed at Atlanta. A tripod mount on the roof if the roof has the typical shingles or even a chimmny mount for the 1707 hiway 34 address.
