I was wondering if anyone can give me advice on a relatively small portable antenna (3-5 ft maximum) for deep/extreme deep locations in the Rocky Mountains, Alberta Canada.
I currently have a satellite dish but may get rid of it in the near future. I only need to use the antenna a couple times per year during the NHL Playoffs and the annual man’s camping trip (no women, no kids, and a lot of beer!)
Here are the 3 most common campsite locations, in order of best reception, as shown on TV Fool radar reports:
1) Elbow Falls,

2) Bow Valley

3) Interlakes

I am only interested in obtaining UHF signals, in particular, CBRT-21 CBC located in Calgary, Alberta

The problem is that the last two camp sites, our favourites of Bow Valley and Interlakes, need to get the TV signals over 6500 – 9800 ft mountains! The portable install will be on my satellite tripod about 4 feet high.
Please recommend an antenna that would get all 3 sites if possible at all. The 3rd location Interlakes is really deep in the valley behind many 9000ft+ mountains. If not possible, what about an antenna that would do the first 2 Elbow Falls and Bow Valley?
Does anyone think WineGard FL6550A (

Does anyone think the RCA ANT751R (

Any advice/discussion would be very much appreciated!
