You will need the 'Big Guns'.

An antennas Direct XG91 UHF, a Winegard YA-1713 VHF and a dual input (UHF - VHF) preamp such as the CM7777.

Both are large antennas. The networks are at azimuth 196°. Other signals could be received if you added a rotator.

The antennas need to be mounted outdoors, clear of obstructions.
