My observations and suggestions are based on your TVFR, not someone else's. The conditions you face may be similar or dramatically different than your neighbor's. ***UPDATE*** The TV Fool database was using information based on a pending construction permit which will allow WGPX to increase power and antenna height. The earlier signal prediction was stronger than what is actually available.
TV Fool's service is unique, a quantum leap over ZIP code level estimates available elsewhere. Anecdotal reports and reviews are not worthless, however, the precision of your specific TVFR is far more relevant to your situation.
I'm suggesting that you try roof mounting a 4-bay panel antenna. (Antennas Direct or Winegard... your choice). See what you get. If everything goes well you're done. If you don't see WGPX reliably, with the panel facing WGPX, try adding an FM trap, they aren't too expensive. If at this point, WGPX is not rock solid, you'll have enough information to determine if the expense of a few more dB of antenna gain can be justified. Deciding on a two antenna solution vs a rotator solution could then be done with specific local knowledge.
***UPDATE*** TVF staff confirmed and corrected the database error.
