There are others on the forum who can recommend an antenna or combination of antennas in their sleep. That said, given the choice between those two AntennaCraft antennas, I would go with the HBU55. It is a 7-69 (aka Hi-VHF/UHF ) deep fringe antenna. The CCS1843 is a 2-69 (VHF/UHF) deep fringe antenna. If there were any Low-VHF channels anywhere near you, then I would recommend the CCS1843. There aren't. Elements dedicated to Low-VHF in your area are wasted money. The HBU55 is designed to receive the signals that are available to you. If you can receive WLKY with your Lava, then I would expect you to receive WHAS and darned near every other station listed on your TV Fool Radar plot with the HBU55.
