Newbie - Seeking Advice on Aerials

Hello everyone,

For many years I was able to look out the window above the TV and see most of the transmitters for the New Orleans area. In the old days it wasn't unheard of to pick up a color picture off the antenna screws on the back of the old Sylvania Superset. Needless to say, I never seriously studied up on outdoor antennas.

Now I've bought a house about 50 miles away, and would like some practical advice on how much antenna I really need to pick up New Orleans stations. We watch mostly WGNO and WDSU subchannels (Antenna and MeTV) and children's programming on WPXL and WYES.

WYES is on VHF channel 11, the rest are on UHF. I would also like to get the Biloxi stations, they are about 70 degrees while New Orleans is about 204 degrees. I'm okay with installing a rotor if that's the best way to go.

I plan on mounting an aerial to the gable of my roof, about 25 feet above ground level. Here is the link to my signal analysis:

As I said, I could use some guidance on what antenna/s would suit me best. Thanks.
