Though it's not exact by any means, a zip code level report at 40' vs. 25' shows a significant improvement in signal levels. Enough to have confidence that the HD7698P would provide both UHF and High-VHF reception from the Chicago direction.

A push-up mast may be a good option for you. Though I doubt you would use it day to day, a rotator may be worth the expense... with the antenna out of reach, fine tuning the aim would be much easier with a rotator.
