well I'm going to try another antenna.

It's a toss between the Antennas Direct DB8E and the Antennas Direct 91XG.

The 91XG is 93" long (which shouldn't be a problem) because I securely mounted the tripod on my roof by nailing blocks between the trusses where the tripod mounts.

I am still a little worried about wind because across the street there is nothing but an open field for miles. We get very high winds.

The DB8E is the antenna with the most gain, but wouldn't this hurt me if I am getting too much signal from Toronto?

I am thinking since the 91XG is directional, this would not be as much of an issue??

Can someone verify this?

No matter what I am going to have an extra antenna (2 months old) to sell or give away to a family member.

I plan on getting another antenna tomorrow. I will post the results here once I install whatever I am going to purchase.
