Use the HD7697P antenna as a VHF channels 7 thru 13 high band antenna.
-------------------------
Install a

10G221 preamp.
-------------------------
Connect the HD7697P antenna to the VHF connection of the 10G221 preamp.
-------------------------
Install a , Antennas Direct , DB8e UHF channels 14 thru 51 antenna.
And connect the DB8e antenna to the UHF connection of the preamp.
Can buy the DB8e antenna at ,
http://www.amazon.com.
-------------------------
I recommend the DB8e antenna for UHF reception at your location because the antenna has a
Big Broad Flat Vertical Surface that does a better job of receiving the UHF channels.
Tv signals at distance , and weak signal strength , move up and down , side to side.
The movement has more effect on reception in the , shorter wave length and wave height , UHF channels.
The Broad Flat Vertical Surface of the DB8e will have more reception elements in the path of the UHF signal as it shifts/moves around a little.
-------------------------
Signal Strengths Improve as the Antenna/s Heights Go Up Above Ground.
Installing the HD7697P and DB8e antennas Higher Above Ground is Important.
Also install the DB8e antenna about +3 feet above the HD7697P antenna on the same antenna mast.
Here is one way and not the only way to install the antennas higher above the roof.

Ronard(721-50-10) , 10 foot tripod antenna mount.

Home Depot has , 10 foot 6 inch , 1 and 3/8 inch dimeter , TOP RAIL , chain link fence , PIPE , that makes good antenna mast pipe , the price is low at about 10 dollars.
--------------------------
As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative Effect on Broadcast Tv Reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and building.
Some and not all Negative Effects are.
Absorbing and Blocking Reception.
Multi-Path Reflecting Tv Signals Bouncing All Around.
The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to install the antennas at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions in the direction of reception including your own roof and building.
The direction of reception at your location is North West.
Aim the HD7698P antenna and the DB8e antenna at about 316 degree magnetic compass direction.
Here is how to aim antennas ,

Use a Real and Actual magnetic compass to aim antennas , do not trust a , cell phone , tablet and etc. compass.
-------------------------------
For 1 Tv connected use No splitter.
For 2 Tv's connected use a , Holland Electronics , HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.
For 3 Tv's connected use a , Holland Electronics , HFS-3D , 3 way splitter.
Buy the , HFS-2D , HFS-3D , splitters at ,
http://www.hollandelectronics.com , or ,

-------------------------------
The Tv/s Must Channel Scan for the , Antenna , OTA=Over The Air , ATSC-Digital Broadcast Tv Stations/Channels.
DO NOT Channel Scan for Cable Tv Channels.
DO NOT Channel Scan for Only Analog Tv Channels.
