Seeking antenna recommendation

I am open to both indoor and outdoor antennas, and my channel report link copied below.

- I am looking for a an antenna recommendation that can get me good signal for the channels in the greenish highlighted part of the report (all the way to 37.1 under NM column of the table/report)
- No existing antenna set-up
- Preferably do not want a rotating set-up. Any antenna that can get all the signals without adjustments?

Appreciate help.

Thank You,
Dpk

BU-33
HD7694P
Aimed at 300m degrees.
Will work on the roof, may work in the attic.

You may ignore the stations at 37.1 NM and 39.4 NM. They are duplicates of other stations.

Tower Guy - Thank you.

"Will work on the roof, may work in the attic"... does that mean they may not work in the patio of my ground floor apartment? My patio opens out to the south and faces the road, meaning no obstructions in the immediate vicinity to the south of my patio but my aptmt building will be obstructing a clear line of sight to the north from the patio. Most of the towers seem to be to the north of us. Aptmt building is 2 floors only though.

With this additional info, do you think I can still go with the BU-33 or the HD7694P?

You have quite a bit of signal to work with.

I agree with TG's recommendation of either the Antennacraft HBU-33 or Winegard HD7694P. Especially if you mount near ground level and have obstructions to deal with, the directional nature of those antennas will help you deal with multipath that will likely be present.
