The close in obstructing terrain may force you to a large directional antenna. Not because you need the gain, but because you may find you've got signal bouncing from several directions. A more directional antenna can help by receiving less multipath. The close in terrain can also make the TVFR predicted signal strength a bit optimistic.

I'd suggest at least a Winegard HD7694P, though the 7698 would not be overkill.

Resist the temptation to add any sort of amplifier to the system.

If you go large, you'll have the option to point toward Tucson if you like.
