Shame on WMC-DT staying on VHF-low throws a monkey wrench into the ointment, to mix metaphors.

So you need to be able to get 5, 13, maybe 10 and a variety of UHF channels.

I might be tempted to use a Winegard HD7694 or one of its larger brothers and insert channel 5 signal off a channel 5 cut yagi.

Otherwise you are left with putting up a full VHF/UHF antenna (quite large) like the Winegard HD7084P or the Winegard HD8200U.

Either way I'd amplify it with a Channel Master 7777
