You were very helpful when I first got this set up. Do you have any recommendations as well?
Watch out for FM interference. You cannot use any amplification unless you have an extremely effective FM filter such as an HLSJ with nothing connected to the L Port.

WJFM at 88.5 @ -8.3 dbm and WDGL at 98.1 @ -19.5 dbm create a 3rd order intermodulation product at 186.6. WAFB's channel 9 runs from 186-192 MHz.

You want a 7-69 antenna such as the HD 7694P that was already mentioned. It will probably have fewer FM issues than with a 2-69 antenna.
