    Best Long range antenna

    Hello All,
    I am looking for advice for the best long range antenna for OTA broadcasts.
    I am 65-90 miles away from 2 different cities Denver and Colorado Springs.
    I currently have a Ebay special Lava hd2805 and it works okay but is flimsy and I have went through 3 motors.
    I will be connecting to a HDhomerun as well as 4 other Tv in the house.
    My elevation is 6200 ft and am in a bit of a valley.
    Thank you

    I'm using a Winegard YA1713 for VHF channels 7 - 13 and a Winegard HD9032 for UHF. This combination provides the highest antenna gains that I could find. The size and cost are a significantly lower than equivalent combo antennas and the performance is better. There are no lower VHF channels in my area, so 2 - 6 capability was not required.

    Use an AntennaCraft Y10-7-13 for VHF and an Antennas Direct 91XG for UHF. Combined them using an AntennaCraft 10G222 (dual input) pre-amp with a Channel Master CM9521A or Eagle Aspen ROTR100 rotor. Run a separate control wire if you use the Eagle Aspen. Use a high quality solid copper RG-6 (Belden 7915A) cable with high quality compression fittings. You will be a very happy person. Solid Signal usually has the best prices.
