Thanks for the update. You know much better than I do what's going on up there.

We are thinking of a:
ANTENNAS DIRECT DB8E
With one bay pointed at the 97~101° direction
And another bay pointed at the 188° direction
That will not work. It does need to be a long range antenna, and probably with a preamp with 2 HLSJs in series before the input. But, the DB8E is a UHF antenna and three of those signals are on VHF-High. Also, all 5 are 2Edge signals.

WWNY-TV (97°), real channel 7
WHEC (188°), real channel 10
WHAM (188°), real channel 13
WPBS (101°), real channel 41
WWTI (100°), real channel 21

You would need a VHF/UHF combo antenna (like the Winegard HD7694P or 7697P) aimed at 100° and a VHF or VHF/UHF combo (because VHF only antennas are getting scarce) antenna aimed at 188°.
