Here's my tvfool report:

The only transmitters I care about are the ones in the 290-292 degree range, plus KWPX (RF 33) at 121 degrees. (Well, I guess I'd also like RF 13 at 266 degrees).
I get all the channels I want sort of OK (occasional pixelating on some channels) with indoor rabbit ears connected directly to a TV, but I'd like to feed two or three sets, and have things work well in all weather, etc.
That RF 33 signal at 121 degrees has NF of 18.9, while the other channels I want have NF at least 20 dB greater. How about a directional antenna (maybe in the attic for starters, moved outside if necessary) pointed at 121 degrees, with all the powerful stations coming in the back? With an isotropic antenna I've got a 50+ dB signal intensity range, while if the antenna had a F/B ratio of 20 dB, the range would only be 30-ish dB. Since they are inexpensive, I'm thinking of a Winegard HD-9022, even if it's probably more gain than I need--I'm looking through some trees toward 121 degrees, so the directionality might help.
(I realize that RF 9, 11, and 13 are low VHF, but I figure they're so strong I'll get them even with a UHF-only antenna.)
