Since when does outskirts of a major city qualify as long range? Is this 25, 50, 75 miles away? Seems that most often the broadcast towers are on the outskirts to begin with.
I personally live 12 miles from the antenna farm and use a $25.00 75 mile yagi from radio shack that works great. It's also mounted below the roof line and point directly at a tree so it's hardly ideal placement.
Depending how close you are from transmission and how close the towers are together the 4228 is a safe bet or maybe a 4-bay version if you are close enough. If your towers are with in a few degrees of each other I'd try an inexpensive yagi.
