The loss of 150' of RG-6 will approach 10 db. WWTO on VHF channel 10 is extremely strong, so preamp selection will be critical.

One approach is a UHF only aimed at 210 degrees with an AP4700 UHF only preamp.

If you tried for Chicago only you'd likely miss CBS. A rotator in a break room will be too confusing.
