Are they all UHF or are some in VHF?  If you can get away with a
UHF-only antenna they're much smaller.  I have one of these:

and it works well for me about 25 miles west of the Boston stations.  I
did *not* have as good luck with the Radio Shack version of this.  You
might also consider something like

which is less directional and therefore easier to aim.
