If you click on a station in the table section of your report, a path profile will be displayed. Although your end of the path is elevated, most signals have to scatter over one or two ridges to get to you. To be sure what you're up against path-wise, rerun your report for the antenna height you anticipate using. The default is only 10 feet.

Looks like you will do well with two antennas, a high-VHF design aimed at 145* and a UHF aimed about due south. Specifics await an updated report.
