Re WLIW, I would not be too hopeful. It's pretty far down the list, at 8 dB noise margin and is 2-edge. And there are co-channel and adjacent channel warnings. This is close to the limit for what you can get with an antenna mounted in free air, that does not have the attenuating building materials around it. A 2-edge signal means that the TV signal has to be diffracted twice around an edge in the landscape in order to be received.

But you might get lucky. I'd run another report at the height of the porch and see how much signal loss to expect. Then if it doesn't change much and you can point at NYC and there are no buildings or trees or other obstructions in the way, you might get WLIW.
