You seemed to be questioning the green coloring of the top of the TV fool plot. If you had an indoor antenna at 25’ it would probably get many of the stations in green. If you ran a TV fool plot for where an indoor antenna actually would be, the green highlighted stations on that plot would be what an indoor antenna at that height may get. You used the word “skeptical” for the TV fool output which is why I suggested running the same type of search on rabbitears; when models agree it is more likely the modeled results are close to the real world (or the models have similar limits).
A 25’ high outdoor antenna is a good thing.
What station is your local to the north?
You would do well with a UHF antenna and a VHF-high antenna, or a channel 7-51 or 7-69 antenna.
You probably could use a smaller antenna than the “big guns” (HD7698P or a DB8e and an Y10-7-13), but some of your stations drop to a 1 edge path, and a higher gain/more directional antenna will deal better with any scattering caused by the terrain causing the 1 edge path. Given how tight of a group the stations form (all within two degrees), there is little need for a broad beam width antenna other than to have some wiggle room when aiming.
