How about a dual-discone mounted horizontally?

At five miles an old coat hanger would probably work well. Years ago I
lived in a townhouse apartment that had cable but you bought it
through the apartment at a premium rate compared to the cable company.
I put a coat hangar dipole in the attic and connected it to there
wiring. I got ABC, CBS,NBC 3 PBS stations and a couple of local non
affiliated stations. Way more TV than I wanted.
