If the programming on WJLP is of no interest to you, the Low-VHF (real channels 2 through 6) capability of the HD7084P is not going to add any useful reception. Instead a more compact antenna or set of antennas could be used.

If you have an unobstructed view toward NYC a small antenna such as the C2V may work... However, I'd opt for an antenna that qualifies as a 'fringe' or 'deep-fringe' design. At present, the combination of an Antennas Direct DB8E + Antennacraft Y10713 + preamp (AD Juice or RCA TVPRAMP1R) is at the top of the performance list and is certainly not overkill for conditions such as shown in your report.

Other options such as the Winegard HD7698P or Antennacraft HBU-44 are valid in this case as well.
