It looks like the two main groups of channels that you can get are to the south-west and the north-west. They are spread too far apart to be picked up with a single stationary antenna, so that means that you will need an antenna rotator if you want to get stations from both groups. The Channel Master 9521A is a decent rotator for the job.

If you can live without the stations from the north-west (like KPBI and KNWA), then you can go with a simpler stationary antenna setup.



For the best channel stability (especially on the weaker stations), I'd recommend going with a relatively large outdoor antenna like the Winegard HD7698P and also using a mast-mounted pre-amp (Winegard AP-8700, Channel Master 7777, or Antennacraft 10G202). That will give you the best chance of grabbing channels down into the "gray" range where the Noise Margin (NM) numbers are close to zero or even a little below that.
