Portland Oregon antenna recommendations

Hello

I'm new to this forum, but not new to OTA HD TV. I'm looking at updating what I use for an antenna as it's over 20 years old, on my detached garage on RG5 cabling. A power sub-station is on two sides of my house, and the direction I need to aim the antenna for tv signals is over the sub station. The antenna is going to be on top of a flat roof which is at 20', I'm running all new RG6 quad shielded cabling whose length is 123' where it runs into my quad tuner HTPC.

I've looked around the net for different antenna's, but only got more confused at all the different ones available, unfortunately stumbling on ones noted on the site ripoffreport. So I was hoping I could get some recommendations.

Here are some TV signal analysis results:
At 20' (antenna flat on my roof) http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...2c15d8d72d9064

At 25' (antenna on a 5' mast) http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...2c15de5a9e635c

At 30' (antenna on a 10' mast) http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...2c15522c8ccf1f

So I would be very appreciative if I could get some antenna recommendations, and if I possibly need an amplifier or any other suggestions you may have for my scenario.

Thanks
Todd
