You need an antenna with as much gain and directivity as possible. An omnidirectional antenna won't work for you.

I'd start with an ANT-751. Aim it roughly north. If that works, you're all done. If not, add a DB-4e coupled to the ANT-751 using a UVSJ. The DB-4e gives you a wide pattern with extra gain on UHF.

I'd keep the ANT-751 and aim it at FOX. Next I'd get a DB-4e aimed at either 18 or halfway between 22 and 51 and couple it to the ANT-751 using a UVSJ.

The antenna that you have looks like a DB-2. It's a UHF antenna, yet WTNH is on VHF. I'd get an ANT751 to aim at ABC and couple it to that or another DB2 using a UVSJ. Aim the DB2 at Avon, CT.

An indoor antenna at 30 miles is asking alot. Both of the antennas that you are considering are not rated to pick up low band VHF. WPVI is on low band.

Oops, I missed that. The HD 7698P is the right antenna for either Richmond or Norfolk. You could install two antennas, one for each city.

In order to pick up ABC on channel 6 you need an antenna capable of low band VHF. One such antenna is the HD 7084P. None of the antennas that you mention will get ABC.

For Richmond a UHF only antenna such as 91XG or DB8e would do well. Raleigh stations are too weak at your 10' height. Norfolk stations are possible with a HD7698P. Either antenna will need a preamp.

Interference shouldn't be a problem but the National Electrical Code doesn't permit sharing power more than 30 volts and signal in the same conduits.
