I spoke with the head engineer at WJFW who was extremely nice. He indicated that I would likely have some difficulty hitting the W27AU repeater due to its power limitations and the height of my antenna. I'm going to do two things:
1) Get a better compass. I don't have full confidence in the toy'ish one that I used though I'm fairly confident in the general N/S/E/W directions due to telescope/astronomy work I've done here. I don't want to take the telescope on the roof today. :-) Either way, I'm going to need a better compass for step 2.
2) Aim both panels at WEAU while using the ChannelMaster 7777 just to see what I get.
I'll be using an HDHomeRun connected directly to the Winegard HDA200 and that way I can rescan with an iPad from the roof. I could get really cute and take the HDHomeRun and an extension cord to the roof and then connect it directly to a laptop while I'm up there. That might be going a bit too far but I'm rapidly getting there with this obsession. :-)
