Sure, the image is way to distant. Use your zoom on your camera to take a up close picture of the design.
Plus, the 100 mile claim is just unscrupulous advertising in these cases. Small amplified plastic antennas don't do "150 miles" either. It's garbage.
You want to talk what a 100 mile (VHF) antenna looks like? Go look at the old Channel Master Quantum 1160. It's almost 16 feet long. Most advertisers don't go beyond 70 miles with UHF claims because curvature of the earth combined with the shorter UHF wavelength makes those signals degrade faster than VHF counterparts.
As to your questions about FOX and specifically if you are out of luck. Not at all, according to your plot I would think your clearstream 2V ought to receive KRBK at a heading of magnetic 349. Where are you pointing the clearstream? Have you tested alternate locations on your roof? Sometimes moving a few inches to a few feet can cure a "dead spots."
It's too bad I didn't see your prior posts. I might of suggested an Antenna's Direct DB8 mounted on a rotor with an option for an Antennacraft Y5-7-13 if KOLR was unreliable.
