Well any way , I suggest a Antenna Craft U4000 aimed at about 124 degree magnetic compass. And a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. The antenna and preamp need to be mounted above the roof in such a manner that the antenna is not aimed in to the roof and is not aimed into a chimney. Tv antennas like breathing room and a good shot at the tv transmitters.

Having a 2 direction antenna is desirable for reception at you location. The U4000 antenna can be easily made into a 2 direction antenna by lifting the metal latch of the reflector rods and turning the reflector rods from the horizontal position to a vertical position. The U4000 has 9 reflector rods and 8 , V , shaped wire reception elements. http://www.antennacraft.net/pdfs/U4000.pdf
