Just so you know, the HD8200U is a full band (all VHF and all UHF) antenna. It will work in your situation, but it is also bigger than what you need.

The lowest channel number you need to deal with is WWCI, channel 10. You could go with a Winegard HD7698P for channels 7 thru 69. Since the HD7698P skips the lowest channels (2-6), it doesn't need to have the very long antenna elements at the wide end like the HD8200U.

The performance of both antennas is good on the channels you need. The smaller antenna has the advantage of being less of a wind load, lighter, and cheaper to ship (if you're purchasing online). Both are made by Winegard and are well built.

They are both "big" antennas, so I highly recommend having a friend or two to help with the installation.

Either way you go, it looks like you're on the right path to getting a good OTA setup.
