I'd recommend two antennas. A 4 bay UHF only (DB-4 or similar) aimed at 72 degrees and a high band VHF only (Y5-7-13 or Y10-7-13)aimed at WTNH. Combine them in a preamp with dual inputs such as the Winegard AP-2870.

It may not get CW, but that station isn't cheap or easy to add.

Thanks Tower Guy
Its definitely an antenna jungle out there!
Is RG6 the right stuff to use?. I would love to plmb into the current cable routes but I am concerned because a lot of it is rg59
Can you offer any insight
Thanks
Again

RG-6 will minimize losses. That's important in your case when signals are on the weak side.
