I'm sort of tossing around the idea of mounting it in the backyard by bracing a thicker gauge pole to a solid wood clothesline post and going from there.
Also, should I even try aiming at WKBT Ch. 8 as the south is mostly clear of trees and the hills are a about two+ miles off in the distance?

I kinda doubt you can get to 35' using the clothesline post.
The clear alternative is to buy an extendable mast, mount it in an open area on your property, and then use guy wires to keep it up. 35' is certainly achievable this way.
How high is your highest gable peak?
You could also use gable end peak to secure a mast that extends to the ground on a pad, and then extend the mast unsupported up beyond the roof peak. This would not penetrate your roof surface. But the height you can extend up unsupported is not more than about 10' I would presume. You could go higher if you could figure a way to add some guy wires without putting holes in your roof. It just depends on what you have to work with.
