The Eagle Aspen is a decent antenna and would be good for your TV Fool Report if there were no trees in the way. You might consider something more powerful, like a DB-8e aimed south.

What direction is your antenna aimed at? I'd aim it for the ABC channel you want (167 degrees on a compass). Your locals are strong and close, so you'd likely get them.
