First, what height did you use for your TV Fool Report? I'd re-run it at the estimated height of your antenna (you can use roof height + 5 feet as a reasonable estimate). If you used "0" it could make a big difference in the signal quality.

What channels do you want? One of each network? Or maybe as many as is possible (i.e., Johnstown + Pittsburgh)?

If this were me I'd be greedy and want both. I'd probably use an Antennas Direct DB-8e for UHF with one panel aimed at about 43 degrees on a compass and the other at about 308 degrees. Then experiment and adjust. For VHF, your Fox-8 is pretty strong and should be received by any outdoor antenna. Therefore I'd go use something like a Y10713 for the Pittsburgh VHF stations.

If you just want Johnstown, you should be happy with an HBU-33 aimed at about 43 degrees.

Wait for others to post. There are other useful antennas.
