I am assuming that many of the analog stations listed on TV Fool are not actually on the air.

I'd do two antennas, a VHF only Y5-7-13 aimed at 98° (halfway between 9 & 11) plus a second UHF only. The selection of the UHF only antenna depends on your wants.

A 4 bay UHF aimed at 111° without a rotator would get CBLT, WNLO, CITS and CKXT. A 91XG would add CBLFT and WNED, but would need to be rotated to pick up CBLT and CBLFT.

On some days additional UHF stations could be picked up, some from Buffalo and some from Toronto.

In either case a dual input preamp such as the Channel Master 7777 or Winegard AP 2870 is needed.
