Not sure of the other antennas, but the 1713 is much better on VHF than the 7694. I've used the 7082, which has similar specs to the 7696. Performance seems about the same as the 1713 on VHF. Not sure how much difference the 7697 would make with only .09 db more gain?
I've tried two other locations up there but to no avail. I can walk the roof but if I find a better location that requires an invasive mount to the shingles, I am hesitant to install there.

There are a lot of trees about 75 feet away in the direction of the station. No doubt that plays a role in the signal breakup.
