I am looking for some advice on Antennas. I borrowed a Winograd HD7696P from a friend and tested it at my location. I got very strong signals on all of the channels from the Sutro Tower that is 12.5 miles away, but the signal was much lower on channel 11. CH 11 is 17.5 miles away and the tower is not as high. There is a large hill between me and the towers. The signal improves with raising the height off the ground from 20 to 30 feet. However, the HD7696 is big and my wife is concerned about the appearance and would like something smaller and lower. Any suggestions on getting better reception on ch 11 or would a different antenna help. The HD7696 has a 10 db gain on ch 11 not sure if gets any better going smaller.

Thanks
