While you are redoing your TVFR report, bear in mind that Houston is as flat as a board and that you live very close to a
lot of very strong stations. These strong signals will saturate the amplifier in an amplified antenna. Therefore, you should not use an amplified antenna. Simply removing power from an amplified antenna will not do the trick because an unpowered amplifier becomes an attenuator which dramatically reduces your signal. You need an antenna placed in a location with a south view. If you have no window with a south view or a south wall in your apartment, then you need an outdoor antenna. Judging by the options presented in your OP, an outdoor antenna is an option for you. Run the antenna above your roof and point it 193° magnetic compass or 13° west of your south magnetic compass reading. With the signal available to you, even due south should work fine. Adjust the direction for strongest signal.
A popular choice on this forum is the RCA ANT751R. The Winegard HD 7696P is a great antenna, but is probably overkill for your situation. Buy the Winegard if you like, but the RCA should receive every channel available to you.
