The 'wooded area' can be a challenge. (I'm currently working on getting my antennas up to 80' or higher due to trees, and that's with nearly 100% LOS conditions @ 30' for everything withing 35 miles.)
In you father-in-law's case, even if not for the trees, I would go big. Any of the high gain UHF antennas such as the Antennas Direct 91XG, Winegard HD9095P, or the 8-bay panel antennas would be appropriate. I would also add a High-VHF antenna such as the Antennacraft Y10713 or Winegard YA1713 to chase after real CH-11 & Ch-13. If you opt for the H-VHF, you'll need a UVSJ. In either case, you'll need a preamp such as the Antennas Direct PA-18 or Kitztech KT-200-COAX TV
Perhaps your most valuable 'investment' will be the selection of mounting location. Avoid aiming into nearby trees if at all possible.

Reason: premap options
