Tell us what city your TV stations are in, and I will tell you what the
final channel assignments are. Some companies are starting to make CH7 -
CH51 antennas, which are a lot smaller than the usual 2 - 69 antenna.
With any luck you won't need CH2 - 6. If you don't have an amp yet, wait
for one that only goes up to 700 MHz. That will reduce the chances of
getting signal overload from whatever shows up above 700.

The Channel Master CM4228 picks up 7-69 great. I can verify 8, 9, 11, 12,
and 13. It also picks up 5 better than my old vhf antenna did, but there's
toms of lower vhf interference where I live. Cost about $50 and mounts
easily in attic/closet or outside. It also has wide (about 30 degree)
sweet spot with almost no loss within that range. I'm about 40 miles from
the towers and suspect it will work very good at 60+ miles. I use a single
distribution amp feeding 9 tuners.
