I am about to cut the cord, and was going to purchase the Extreme Signal HDB91X, but there are some comments that it does not work for high VHF. The attached tvfool plot shows that four of my seven local stations are 7 (KABC), 9 (KCAL), 11 (KTTV), and 13 (KCOP). Although these have NM(dB) over 20, I'm concerned that antenna won't bring them in, because the antenna gain chart for the HDB91X shows a steep falloff below 450 MHz.
The UHF stations I want are (in order of decreasing signal)
KNBC, channel 36
KTLA, channel 31
KCBS, channel 43
KCET, channel 28
All the stations I want are on the same antenna farm (Mt Wilson, at 84 degrees, 40 miles away), so a directional antenna will work fine. I plan on mounting the antenna on the roof, about 25 feet high.
As an additional question, I was thinking of using a separate FM antenna, probably an omnidirectional one. I'd like to mount it in the attic, but I have stucco siding, which has chicken wire mesh embedded in it. How much would that impede FM radio signals? How about AM radio signals? (our roof is concrete tile)
