@dcp12345678, Thanks for the update.
I agree with JC, that a Winegard U4000 facing the group of stations SE of you should also provide reception of the two strong signals from WXII and WUNL to the north of you... all but one of your original 'must have' list.
If you are willing to wait for the folks at WGPX to act on their construction permit you may be able to save the expense of a second antenna. You may want to contact the station to get an idea of the ETA on that upgrade.
If you have the desire to receive the relatively weak signal from WGPX right away, there are at least a couple of approaches to consider.
The first approach would involve a rotator and a high gain antenna such as the Antennas Direct XG-91 (instead of the lower gain 4-bay panel antenna).
The second option would be a two antenna system. The 4-bay design previously described plus the AD XG-91 aimed at WGPX. Combining the signal from both antennas may be possible with a custom built product from TinLee.com but I think an A/B switch would be more practical if you are on a limited budget.
In either case, the antennas need to be outside. You will also need an FM trap inline between the XG-91 and a high input preamp such as the Antennas Direct CPA-19 or Winegard HDP269. Finally, successful reception of WGPX at it's current power and antenna height may require a high mast or tower, due to the low signal strength and 2 edge path profile.
