Since your VHF stations lie in one direction, and your UHF stations lie in another direction, you can use a simple two-antenna installation without a rotator to accomplish what you need. The C5 is small, but very expensive for what it gives you: you can accomplish the same thing with a Winegard YA-6713 for about half the money for your VHF channels. Aim that antenna at roughly 130 degrees, and you can then use an AntennasDirect XG-42 aimed at 220 degrees to get ABC, FOX and PBS. You can also side mount, or eave mount this combination, and combine the signals from the 2 antennas using a Pico-Macom UVSJ antenna joiner, which will allow you to run one cable from the roof. When mounting the two antennas, mount the UHF antenna on top, separated by 4' from the VHF antenna mounted on the same mast. This antenna system will make sure that you see FOX, which is a low-power channel in your area.
