You and I view the same stations from Columbus. Looks like you're in the Marysville area. I would guess you'd prefer to get local news from Columbus but you do have the advantage of being within range of Dayton stations as well. An outdoor antenna/preamp at a decent height with a clear view to the southwest would make reception of Dayton stations very easy. If it was me I'd have two dedicated antennas aimed at Columbus and Dayton with an A/B selector switch.

How far away are the trees to the southeast? Are they solid with no gaps in the foliage in summer? As Electron mentioned, if the trees are right next to the house, placing the antenna away from the house where it gets a clear view can make a big difference in signal strength when the leaves are full.
A low mount with a clear view is better than a high mount that's obstructed.
