I would either lower the antenna or attach guy wires. That is too much height without some kind of support.

You will need a LOT of antenna to get 13. 11 is not as hard to get to areas west of Baltimore, but 13's directional signal is not as strong as TV Fool predicts.

The HBU22 should at least get the UHF channels from Baltimore (ABC, Fox, CW) if aimed more in that direction. If you want NBC 11 & CBS 13 you will likely need to go up to an HBU33 or better yet...

Also, I don't see any overly "strong" stations. You mention "10" miles away. Is the TV fool report accurate?
