Antenna Recommendations - Chicago Burbs

Greetings all,

I'm looking for recommendations for an antenna to pick up HD OTA broadcasts. I'd like to mount it on my roof (attached to my chimney) if possible. Additionally, the smaller the antenna the happier I (and my neighbors!) would be

Here's my TV Fool reports:

10 feet:

25 feet:

40 feet:

I took a look at the reports and found that most of the stations are ~072 degrees away from me. Here's a picture of the roof of my house facing approximately 072 degrees.

Will the tree & neighbors house be an issue? I don't want to put this antenna on a huge mast - 5 foot maximum. Otherwise how about an attic mount towards the front of the house where the neighbors house isn't much of an issue?

Any advice would help. Thanks!
