You're in an interesting spot, 4 towers with almost perfect 90 degree separation. I'm up the road from you, and I'm actually trying to pull both LA and SD. You've got a tough nut to crack with that hill between you and the La Jolla VHF transmitter, but looks like you've got a nice path to the LA towers, though (jealous!).

I've been pleased with the Antennas Direct DB4e ($50 delivered). It's small (neighbors won't fuss), lightweight, and easy to work with on the roof. It also has surprising off axis VHF capability. Sounds like your CS has the goods to pull LA, too. The LA market has a lot more stations than San Diego, so you might consider trying to pull LA instead, and hope for some off axis VHF to La Jolla. Failing that, Antennas Direct offers a VHF add-on for the DB series that can easily be re-purposed for the DB4e or the Clearstream and pointed at La Jolla.

The one down side is ABC is VHF in both LA and San Diego, so it's going to be hard to pull that one off with a UHF only antenna.
