Excellent Outdoor FM Antennas

I'm interested in purchasing a highly sensitive outdoor FM antenna that's omni directional to pick up stations from 100 to 150 miles away. What, if any experience does anyone have on this list. Additionally, I own 2 very good tuners. The Magnum Dynalabs 108 and an older McIntosh Mr78. Both are exceptionally good in terms of sensitivity. Concerning the Mr78, I need to have it recalibrated and cleaned up. Who is recommended for such service?

You need a Winegard HD HD6055P, and a Channel Master CM 9521A rotator. I have this setup, and enjoy excellent FM on my Denon TU-800 from a fave station 140 miles away--CBC radio in Canada. I easily get nearly full signal strength from powerful stations from broadcast antennas located 50-60 miles away over curvy terrain.

The APS pieces are really nice, and really expensive.
