You have TV stations that lie in several different directions, and, while some are only 20 miles away, they are blocked by hills. I suggest looking at a fringe-area all-channel antenna like a Winegard HD-7084P or a Channel Master Crossfire 3671B moounted on the roof with a rotator and a high-input preamplifier. WBRA-DT operates on channel 3, and you won't see it with just a UHF-high-band VHF antenna. I would use a Winegard HDA-269 preamplifier, so it won't overload on strong stations, and use a Channel master 9521a automatic rotator to turn th antenna. This rig will get you everything that you can see in your area.
