Most New Hampshire viewers expect to see the Boston TV stations, and they are all on UHF. The two major New Hampshire stations are fairly close to you, and are on VHF (WMUR, channel 9, ABC and WENH, channel 11, PBS) it is a pretty simple matter to use a two antenna system that will get the Boston stations clearly for you AND the important New Hampshire stations.
I suggest using an AntennasDirect 91XG aimed at roughly 200 degrees, as measured by your compass, and mount an AntennaCraft Y-5-7-13 VHF high-band VHF antenna on the same mast, roughly 4' BELOW the 91XG. Aim the Y-5-7-13 at the New Hampshire signals, roughly 325 degrees compass heading. Combine the signals from the two antennas using an AntennaCraft 10G221 preamplifier, which will allow you to connect the two antennas into one coaxial cable downlead, and will provide enough amplification to power up to 4 TV sets should you so desire: you would simply need to add an appropriate coax splitter after the output of the preamplifier indoor-mounted power supply. This combination will allow you to see everything from Boston without a hitch, and will also let you see the New Hampshire news on channel 9 and New Hampshire PBS, as well as Boston PBS.
This antenna system is not very large or bulky, but it should be mounted outdoors, preferably on your roof, to allow the antennas to see the strongest signals.
The previously suggested Winegard MS2002 will be inadequate to give you reliable reception of the Boston stations. Follow my directions, and you'll be very satisfied.
