The Madison signals are going to be easy. It's not certain, but WWAZ may come on the air on real channel 5 at some point. An all channel antenna would be a more future proof option. If they will fit in your attic, consider Antennacraft 5884, C290 or even C490. From Channel Master, CM3016 and CM3018.

Metal and tile on the roof as well as wet or deep snow will make the attic a problematic antenna location.

Out of market signals from Chicago might be reachable with a mast or tower. You'll want to run one or more new TVFRs using higher mounting height to see if signal conditions improve enough. The numbers shown in your 15' AGL report don't suggest you could see Chicago at that height, definitely not from the attic.
