Hi -

Pretty sure you'll find that, once you get outside, you won't need heroic measures to pick up a lot of stations. The quad of stations at 85 magnetic will probably come in from the back side of a decent antenna pointed at 256. This assumes that you are hgh enough so that you aren't aiming through trees and there are no other obstructions.

I wonder how you are going to hang these antennas off your tower without coupling to it. Maybe that's not an issue.

Mostly what gets recommended here are Antennacraft or Antennas Direct. ADTech from Antennas Direct often gives advice here. The Antennacraft cut-to-band antennas (Y5713 or Y10713) are often combined with a UHF bowtie array like the Antennas Direct DB8e or DB4e. The Antennacraft HBU series is often recommended for a UHF/VHF-high combination antenna. The HD series also covers VHF-low. There are other quality antenna companies, like Channelmaster and Winegard, which I'm less familiar with.
