Help me get the right (outdoor?) antenna for local channels - West Tampa FL edition

I entered "West Tampa FL" into https://www.rabbitears.info/searchmap.php and got this result:

If you supply a report from rabbitears.info for your location, you will get more precise results. The information in a rabbitears report is far from precise enough as to definitively identifty you.

Based on the ballpark guess I made, the rabbitears report shows that you should be able to get a lot of stations (the ones in green) already with an inexpensive indoor antenna.

The report also shows that CBS, NBC, Fox and PBS are VHF stations, that are best received with an antenna that has "rabbit-ear" dipole elements, rather than a flat "leaf" antenna. You might want to try one of those type of antennas.
