Nope.
TVFool doesn't calculate ground effect. Yet the best height for channel 43 (KCBS) turns out to be 27".

If I figured your house correctly, the location on your land that will support such an antenna situation is the ESE corner of your back yard near the storage shed. The top of Frankish mountain should be visible above your roof for at least 30' in front of the antenna.
