When you get to the house, look around the neighborhood and see what's in the air at the neighbors, that will get you an idea of how much and how high you may need to go. With the exception on CBS, TBN, and Mundo Fox, everything out of Sears and Hancock are UHF, so you may get away with a simple bow tie on the TV.
Dodge Guy lives in the area, and even though he and I whine at each other about other antennas (and he's wrong...), he certainly has a better feel for what to expect in the burbs. Maybe he'll see this and comment. I just build the transmitters..
