Trying to get a channel

I haven't put up an antenna for this at home yet but you were all so helpful for me at my vacation home. I'm looking to get KNRR. I was going to buy that bowtie antenna at MCM but I think KNRR is VHF (channel 12) and the antenna is UHF.

Here is my tvfool report:

(take out the space between the c and the 6 at the end. I can't remove it for some reason)

Here is that bowtie antenna again. It says it goes 60-70 miles but KNRR is 70.1 miles away according to tvfool. I was thinking on putting in an inline power inserter.

Oh, And I am not worrying about any other channel. I get all of the other ones with my subscription. Can't get KNRR on the subscription.

Oy, I don't think so: -93dB 70 miles and 2edge on an antenna that is not going to do a good job of getting the signal?
You could build a VHF Hi antenna and have a better chance than that, but you don't get much more than +10 dB from most antenna and that leaves you a lot of dB too low.

I kinda figured that. The cheap chinese ones wouldn't work for sure. There is a yagi at mcm that might work but I dunno.
