To be clear, your opportunity to receive local stations reliably is excellent.
I hope your wife will 'buy-into' the idea of a tower. Clearly, as you go higher, the conditions for both Madison and Chicago signals improve, enough that some UHF signal may be reliable. You'll still be faced with low signal levels, co-channel and adjacent-channel interference and multipath interference. The primary means to overcome those obstacles is antenna gain, directivity and height. In your case... height buys as much or more than any other single factor.
