[ http://www.antennaweb.org/aw/Stations.aspx ] has been my best find so far. It seems that I could be well covered by yellow and blue antennas. Unfortunately, I live in an association, and while they cannot legally bar me from erecting an antenna, I would prefer not to incur unnecessary grief. Can anyone speak to the existence of low profile, innocuous or camoflaged blue antennas? Or direct me to a resource?

Make sure none of your stations are going to move to the channel 7-13
range after February. If you do have a station in the 7-13 range, you
will need a larger "Hi-VHF/UHF" antenna. If all of your stations are
in the channel 14-60 range, then you can get away with a UHF-only
antenna.
Since I do have two stations moving to the 7-13 channel range, I just
bought this:

It is the smallest "high performance" antenna I could find, that was
Hi-VHF/UHF. So far, it is working well.
