Given that you are feeding multiple sets, a rotator could be a source of frustration... who decides what to watch?

I'm inclined toward a Winegard HD7698P aimed at DC and an Antennas Direct XG91 aimed at Baltimore. The DC feed would usually satisfy, so cable the XG-91 to only those locations that need the Baltimore signals, select with an A/B switch.

More complex install, yes... but easier to use by multiple viewers.

Low noise preamps will be needed... the Antennas Direst CPA-19 is one option.

(These are high gain, narrow beam width antennas. I don't think you will be able to get reliable coverage of both markets with only one fixed aim antenna. Smaller antennas with wider beam widths won't have the gain needed to provide a decent fade margin. You are facing some rising terrain that calls for the higher performance antennas.)
