Hello and welcome!

Your signals are pretty weak and far away, but I do believe they are receivable with the right rooftop antenna setup. You are actually lucky that all the signals are clustered together nicely (avoids the need to use an antenna rotator).

For this situation, I'd recommend installing either a Winegard HD7698P or Antennacraft HBU-55 on your roof with a pre-amp. The antenna can be pointed south-west (compass heading 227 degrees) to capture most of the channels down into the "red" zone on you tvfool list. The antenna should be mounted at least 4~5 feet above the roof on a sturdy mast.

Some good pre-amps for the job would be the Channel Master 7777, Winegard 8275, or Antennacraft 10G202. If you choose a different amp, be sure to pick one that has a very low Noise Figure rating (should be under 3.0 dB). The lower, the better.
