I would be inclined to use an ANT-751 pointed toward the west... For reception of most of the available signals.

To get WTOL reliably, I'd go to the Antennacraft Y10713 and then use this technique: http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=2882

If you locate a preamp (such as the RCA TVPRAMP1R) at the antenna, you may find the UHF capability of the Y10713 is fair or even good. A preamp will isolate the antenna from the coax run, thus reducing some of the negative effects of poor SWR in the UHF band. Regardless of whether you receive UHF 40 or 47 with this technique, I think you'll benefit from the preamp when tuned to WTOL.
