I'm going to suggest a winegard 8200u hd. It's on sale on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Winegard-HD820...A1HP7F9AXH8VS3

as far as amplifier, antennacraft 10g212. 30db adjustable.
The 8200 might be on sale at Amazon, but you'd be buying a lot of useless aluminum since there's nothing receivable on low-VHF. Stick with a 7-51 or 7-69 system, either a single combo antenna or a pair of selected antennas, one for 7-13 and one for UHF.

Skip the Antennacraft 30 dB amplifier also. Unless you have a lot of coax and splitters, the extra gain is useless. Pick a low noise, medium gain amplifier instead based on your antenna(s) choice.

Also, is it really likely that putting the antenna lower is better? I would really rather put it a bit higher as lower blocks my views of the lake.
You're looking at the results of a software simulation of limited accuracy and resolution. It's only a best estimate of what *might* be available...or not. YMMV.

You'd also benefit from a rotor so you can explore reception in different directions.
