Is the Winegard flatwave outdoor out of the question?

If you mean the Winegard FlatWave Air FL6550A Amplified Outdoor HDTV Antenna, my guess is that it would get some of the strongest channels that you want, but not all of them. You are certainly welcome to try it if you want to experiment. You would then have a basis of comparison for a larger antenna.
The Flatwave Air contains a low gain antenna element combined with an integrated amp that tries to compensate for the low gain of the antenna element. The problem is that if a good signal isn't coming out of the antenna element, an amp can't create one; GIGO. I prefer to use an antenna with a little more gain and add an amp if needed.
