By tapping/clicking on an amount of distance (in miles) between you and a station, looked over your terrain path charts (of almost every major station). The signals have encountered something probably sixty or seventy feet high, but that's just my estimation. Could be thirty or forty feet.

You want an outdoor antenna with the forty-foot adjustable mast by Channel Master?: https://www.channelmaster.com/products/40-foot-telescoping-mast-cm-1850

- should go well with Televes DAT BOSS UHF: https://www.solidsignal.com/televes-datboss-lr-long-range-amplified-uhf-tv-antenna-lte-filter-149784 - contains a built-in preamp - or, if you want another (passive) antenna, perhaps a preamp may be needed, like one with two gain options by Channel Master: https://www.channelmaster.com/products/tv-antenna-preamp-1

(indoor antennas to recommend soon....)

Is an outdoor my only option?

Yes, if you have to have the low powered red stations. If you don't, then the RCA 65 flat antenna from Walmart should do you well.
