I'd suggest this Grey Hoverman design:

It gets you the UHF gain of an 8 bay UHF and the broad pattern of a 4 bay UHF. This helps because your critical UHF stations range from 155° to 177° and are not that strong. A rotor would add flexibility, including reception of some Boston stations.

With both WWLP and WENH on channel 11 neither of them are likely to be 100% reliable unless you stack a pair of VHF antennas 1.5 wavelengths apart (7' 3.5") horizontally.
