You are not receiving WPIX (RF11) because it broadcasts in the VHF band whereas the Leaf is primarily a UHF antenna. signals unlimited told you that it relies on the coax as the receiving element for VHF.

You have received several recommendations. Each of the recommended antennas will have better reception than the Leaf. You did not receive a recommendation for the Terk HDTVa. This is an amplified antenna. With so many strong signals available to you, the aggregate power received by the antenna may saturate the amplifier making things worse.
