Compact would be nice for sure

Even at the cost of not working? Compact is NOT an attribute that
attends both multi-channel and HDTV.

22 Active Electronic Antenna Elements indeed. -whew- They may be
counting the mast and the transmission line too for all that brings
you in gain. Speaking of which, it isn't actually obvious what gain
is coming your way with either of these. The quotes are "by gosh and
by golly" sort of claims.

two bays, imagine!

These might receive your signals just fine as 20 miles is not that far
away if both your antenna and the transmitter's are high enough. The
transmitters probably are, even if they aren't trying very hard. You
are lucky they are all in the same vicinity.

Which of these two antennas would YOU go for and why?
I'm undecided!!

Neither on the basis of the ad copy. It says nothing factual that can
be a basis of comparison with rabbit ears in the living room.

Wait until you have real signals to see how bad things are. Then put
your rabbit ears on the peak of your roof (with a good transmission
line, not the $10 crap). Write back after this with results of this
test IF you don't see what you like.
