Question Help with antenna choice & placement

I want to purchase an antenna that will allow me to pick up all of the green and hopefully the yellow stations. Getting some of the red would be even better...

Here is my Signal Analysis: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...e1c6a35743c684

Ideally, an indoor antenna placed on an exterior, southern facing wall is what I was first thinking. Maybe something like HD Frequency Cable Cutter Indoor/Outdoor HD Digital TV Antenna (CC-17).

Then I was thinking that might be enough. If no, I may have to mount something outside to reliably get what I want. In that case, would have to buy some sort of mount and either attach it to a pergola in my back yard or to my chimney. The antenna that I was leaning to is Antennas Direct, inc DB8e Extreme Range Multi-Directional Bowtie UHF Antenna.
If mounted outside, would I need to mount it above my roofline or is just 10' or so enough?
Could I get by with an attic mounted one?

I request some assistance from those with experience before I blindly purchase something that may not meet my needs.

Thank you in advance!
