Antenna recomendations

Hello everyone, looking for recommendations on antennas.
http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...0b86a3eb97fa4d

Currently using a db2 type antenna pointing NW (plan on getting a compass)
I receive channel 8 ok. I am looking to get major network channels to the north as well as ch 19. I see most stations to south are much stronger but is mostly spanish speaking stations so I prefer to try and pickup the farther stations to the north. I think I can handle UHF stations only so that may help. Thanks for any help guys!

Perhaps you are thinking of the other north also known as the south. To the south is , KSBW channel 8 NBC and ABC , KCBA-DT channel 13 Fox and CW , KQET-DT channel 25 PBS , KION-DT channel 32 CBS and The CW. Install a Winegard HD7698P antenna with a Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp above the roof aimed at about 155 degree magnetic compass. Here is how to aim antennas , http://www.kyes.com/antenna/pointing/pointing.html. Here are some Strong and Sturdy antenna mounts , http://www.ronard.com/909911.html , http://www.ronard.com/34424560.html , http://www.ronard.com/ychim.html , http://www.ronard.com. Buy the ronard mounts at solidsignal by typing the word ronard in the solidsignal search box or buy from ronard. Here are places to buy antennas and etc. , http://www.solidsignal.com , http://www.winegarddirect.com , http://www.amazon.com , http://www.tigerdirect.com , http://www.ramelectronics.net , http://www.digicircle.com

The english language digital Tv stations/channels to the north are to weak to be received reliably.
