From your address you are not in a weak zone at all, unless you are trying for stations way out of town.

Here is the TVFool plot I found down to the road level

TV Fool

Unless Churchill Road is very long , this plot says you would probably use rabbit ears to pick up the Boston station.

Do you live between Furnace Brook Golf Course and the North Commons? If so then the plot above is correct. I looked up the road on Google Maps then plotted the Lat/Long and got the same TVFool plot as above.

Post transition you will have one VHF station, which is NBC WHDH on RF channel 7 back where they were before they temp were on UHF for DTV.

Even at 10 miles and them running 29.KW, unless you live in a metal building, like a trailer or metal walls, I would think even rabbit ears would pick this up.

Now if you want a more stable signal without the rabbit ears getting bumped and having to adjust them, you could put up a small outside antenna.

With the levels on the chart above you should never run an amp, it will overload with strong signals.

AntennaCraft HBU22 22 Element High-Band VHF UHF Outdoor HDTV Antenna (HBU22) | HBU22 [AntennaCraft]
Winegard HD-1080 2-Bay Bowtie UHF and High Band VHF Antenna (HD-1080) | HD-1080 [Winegard]
Channel Master CM2016 HDTV VHF High Band and UHF Antenna (CM2016) | CM2016 [Channel Master]

I didn't put them in order because a lot of things determine which to buy.

The HBU22 is the best antenna overall in the group, but requires pole mount unless you can get a j-pole above the roof line. But it can go in the attic nicely at your distance

The CM2016 has the best UHF gain, but is in the middle on VHF, but it can be j-pole mounted to a wall at your distance

The HD1080 is the weakest, but smallest most compact. It has poor VHF, but your VHF is strong where you live. It's UHF is enough also for Boston stations.

If you mount on a j-pole or a short mast below your roof line, you need to be on the west side of your house, and from the map that seems possible.

If I see the water tower, it's south of you? If that is it, then your mulitpath problems or blockage should not be bad, as it's off the side of any antenna you mount.

Any reflection off that tower might effect you the most on the HD1080, so you might want to drop that idea.

And if you only want Boston stations, then you don't need a rotor either, as they are all just a little north of west of your street.

If you need suggestions on how to mount it please chime back in, or tell us if any of the suggestions worked.

Hope your injury is better now also.
