While you live in a rural area, you aren't very far from a number of TV transmitters, and have more stations available to you with the right antenna. You didn't mention how many TV sets you plan to have connected to the antenna, but if we assume only one or two, I would suggest using a fringe-area VHF-high-band plus UHF antenna like a Winegard HD-7696P mounted on your roof, at least 30' from the ground, an automatic rotator like a Channel Master 9521a and a high-input preamplifier such as Winegard HDP-269. With such an antenna, you should see all of the Monroe and Alexandria stations without a problem.

Here is your TVFool.com scan: you can expect to get the stations whose nM (noise margin) is above "0" in the listing whien using this antenna system
