Based on my discussions here on the forum, I decided to try a Channel Master CM-4001 FLATenna with and without my small RCA pre-amplifier. I have just finished the frame I will be using to hold the CM-4001 so that I can rotate it through roughly 270 degrees of rotation, seeking out the strongest signals in the process. I have included some pictures.
The weather tomorrow promises to be rainy with intermittent thunderstorms so it should be a good test of the antenna's mettle!
I'll keep you all posted as the results are analyzed.
