The RCA ANT-751R pointed at about 290° (compass) would be were I start. Fine tune the aim from there, the only odd station that may pose a problem would be the Ion affiliate, WOPX. By adjusting aim, I expect you would be able to get it without loosing reliable reception of the main group of signals to the NW.

I'd mount outdoors, clear of obstructions.
