If I were you I'd do everything that I can to get all the major networks. ABC will be the hardest. To get ABC, you'll need the highest gain UHF antenna available which is the Antennas Direct DB-8e. There will be a height that works better for ABC than other stations. Find the optimum height by trial and error by moving the antenna up and down the mast several inches at a time, rescanning after each attempt. I'd guess that your chances of success are about 40%. That antenna may pick up WCYB (NBC) on channel 28 or 29, so a low band VHF antenna may or may not be needed. If WCYB works perfectly on UHF get a Y10-7-13 for WJHL (CBS) and couple them in a TVPRAMP-1R preamp.

If WCYB on UHF doesn't work perfectly, find a Winegard HD-5030 instead of the Y10-7-13 for NBC and CBS. (Try Warren Electronics)
