Trees, Buildings, need antenna help! Pics included

Hi, I'm new to OTA and would like a little help selecting my first antenna.

My tvfool report is here:

http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...ec12d8d824cf94

My situation is as follows:

I'm on the 3rd floor of an apartment building, my balcony faces SSE. I have a few enormous maple trees immediately in front of my balcony which block my line of sight to the 2 clusters of towers I'm trying to receive signal from. Additionally, a few hundred meters beyond the trees, there are a couple of apartment buildings that further block my line of sight. I have included a picture below.

I'm trying to get the local channels located at magnetic 180 and 182 degrees, as well as the buffalo channels located between magnetic 156 and 166 degrees.

I've properly oriented and superimposed the tvfool map on a picture of the view from my balcony below. The two dots in the picture represent the location of the 2 clusters mentioned above.



As you can see, I would be aiming my antenna directly at the trees!

As for the Buffalo channels, I would like to get FOX, ABC, PBS, CBS and NBC.

Can you recommend an antenna, as well as any other suggestions?

Thank you very much!
