OK, so it's not a ham radio question. But it is a tower question.

I have a spare hardline going up my tower at the moment. I'd like to
watch Channels 9, 10, 11, 12 and some UHF channels which are 40-75 miles
away, in a variety of directions. I could mount something around the 75
-85 foot level which would not interfere with anything. Should I get a
discone? Whose? Or is there some homebrew antenna I should erect? I do
not want to put up something that requires rotation.
Ideas?
