Help upgrading 30 yr. old antenna

[joegeek]

I am in 45656 (Ohio) and my locals are about 60 miles away in WV. Right now our 30 years old antenna can sometimes pick up NBC HD but that is it.

My local tv shop has "antennacraft" antennas and 1 Terrestrial Digital DB8 and I have no idea what to get.

We do have tree interference but our old antenna did ok sometimes with the trees.

According to TVfool.com, your transmitters are only 35 miles from you, and are blocked by hills from your location. You will need a deep-fringe antenna solution to get reliable reception from the WV stations that you are looking for. I would use a two-antenna system, consisting of a Winegard YA-1713 VHF high-band yagi antenna plus an AntennasDirect 91XG mounted 4' above the YA-1713 on the same mast. Since you have a couple of available stations in the opposite direction, I would also use a Channel Master 9521a rotator and use a Channel Master Titan 7777 pheamplifier to both combine the signals from the two antennas and amplify their signals. Mount this antenna up as high on your roof as you can manage, and you should see 6 or 7 digital stations, including all of the major networks.
