The setup worked well for a little while, until the leaves on the trees started coming in (the neighborhood is full of mature trees), whereupon I lost WJRT and WXYZ.

WJRT is on real channel 12 which uses the dipoles; did you adjust them?
WXYZ on real channel 41 is a UHF channel that is much weaker than your channels in green and in a different direction from the SE. Did you adjust the antenna aim for it?
You need at least one of those two for ABC.
The specs say that it has an adjustable amplifier. Does that adjustment make any difference? Is there power in the attic for the antenna?
Did you ever get WNEM for CBS?
I'm thinking
maybe the GE 24792 Attic Antenna with a preamp that wouldn't be overloaded by WCMZ. No guarantee that it would be any better because of the trees.
