According to my info your permanent channel assignments will be 10, 32,
and 
34. So, there is no sense getting a huge antenna that works down to
channel 
2. Winegard makes a series of CH7 - 69 antennas; I suspect CH7 -51
antennas 
will be common in short order. Also, supposedly the Channel Master DB
series 
UHF antennas will work decently on the high VHF channels. You might try a 
DB4.
