Talking Which antenna would work?

I live in Somerset, Kentucky at the southern end of Pulaski County. What I pick up are stations from Knoxville, but I'd like to be able to pick up a few from Lexington.

I have a cheap antenna I ordered from tiger direct - its on a 20 foot pole. I'm wondering if 5 feet more would do the trick?

Any suggestions - my tvfool report is below
thanks

The report you've posted suggests that you may have access to some Lexington market signals, but the report is flagged as imprecise. Please review this guide: http://forum.tvfool.com/showthread.php?t=14508 then add links for reports for your exact location, based on the current antenna height above ground, 25' AGL and 50' AGL.

Also, can you provide the make & model of your existing antenna? And, do you have a clear view toward Lexington or do you have to aim through trees?

Thanks

Here's my signal analysis - I have a somewhat clear view to Lexington. There are a few hills close by - but it surprises me I'm able to get Knoxville as there are lots of hills to the south east.

My antenna is a Digiwave ANT7287 Super DB8 Adjustable Multidirectional HDTV Antenna from Tiger Direct. I ordered it because it came highly reccomended. I appreciate your help and the signals I do get are really clear.
