Do you need ABC or MeTV (Channels 2 and 6). Channels 2-6 require wide antennas. Not needing them would let you use a much lighter antenna.

The satellite mount is probably on the south side of the house. To get the Philly stations an antenna needs to point north west, so the satellite mount is probably not placed optimally.

You probably do not need a rotor, most of the Baltimore stations have co channel interference flags.

There is not much VHF-low in the Baltimore/DC direction, so if you wanted a rotor to swing the antenna around, I would recommend a fixed VHF low antenna pointed at Philly, optimized for KJWP and WPVI, then a channel 7-51/69 antenna on a rotor combined with a HLSJ.

Your Philly stations all say 1 edge. How high do you need to go for them to get to LOS? Your reception report makes me think a little more height would let a much smaller antenna work.
