As ADTech mentioned, having an unobstructed view toward the transmitters is going to be one of the most important factors that will determine reception reliability at your location. Aiming through nearby trees will make for frustrating results.
I was looking around online this afternoon, it looks like the Y10713 is no longer available though Amazon or Radio Shack. I did see it listed for sale at SolidSignal, but their ad copy is indicating it's replaced by a big all channel antenna from another manufacturer (ambiguous perhaps, but strongly suggesting their stock of Y10713's is nearly sold out and will no longer be available after that). It would appear that the OTA community will be forced to 'role their own' very soon in those cases where only the 10 dBd gain of a long cut to band H-VHF will do.
@ADTech, would the PA-18 be more or less likely to overload than the CM-7777? (I realize the gain of the PA-18 is different than the CM-7777, and see your point in a long distribution run scenario.)
