antenna recommendation?

Hi, I'm taking the plunge with cord cutting and looking for an antenna to pick up the major networks. TV Fool Report

I only care about getting virtual channels 8, 15, 21, 27, 33, and 43. Just to get an idea, I built a 4 bay coat hanger antenna and temporarily put it outside where an old digital satellite dish was mounted to see what I could pull in. I was able to get 8, 15, 21, and 33 clearly, but no 27 or 43. I fiddled with the antenna some, but nothing was coming in on those 2 channels. The antenna was mounted about 12 feet high and it was connected using the existing coax for the old dish. The coax went straight to the TV, but it was a fairly long run with 2 coax joiners involved.

Thanks for the help!
