There's nothing wrong at all EV's G1483 suggestion. It's a terrific antenna design: A long time ago, I used a Radio Shack clone of the G1483 to pull two UHF signals of ~ -87 dBm (aka +4 noise margin) from 60 miles out AND 2-edge diffraction AND mounted only about 8 feet above the ground AND aimed through a forest of leafy trees in the northeast -- and got somewhat snowy but watchable analog signals without an amplifier. I'm pretty sure it would need to be teamed up with a high-band VHF antenna on a UVSJ combiner to pull in channels 9 and 11 in this scenario, though. A G1483 combined with a Winegard YA-1713 would offer similar gain and somewhat better beamwidth than an HD-7696 by itself. The pesky problem with this two-antenna solution is those steep shipping charges the sole vendor of the G1483 wants...
