I also need an antenna that's not an eyesore for placement on the west side of our condo unit. Channels to the east will not be possible due to antenna placement. Something along the likes of the Mohu sky, Clearstream 2 C2-V or Wineguard flatwave that would be best due to Condo regulations.

GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR HELP !!!
The desire to receive "...all..." may prove to be impossible given the constraints you've listed. The relatively weak signal levels and edge path conditions call for an antenna system with more gain and directivity than any of the antennas you've listed.

Even antennas larger than the HBU-44 would not be overkill.

You can get a lot of UHF-only performance in a relatively small form factor... Consider the Antennas Direct DB8e. However, you would be left needing High VHF capability, the Antennas Direct CS5 being a relatively small form factor, but the large Antennacraft Y10713 would be preferred for it's added performance.

Smaller antennas will offer some reception, just not, "...all channels possible from Southwest and North West."
