I'm swallowing my pride

I thought I could figure this out on my own but it turns out I need help. So here goes....

I live in Tucson, Arizona at the base of a mountain. Here is my map:

The transmitter I am interested in is the one that is only 9.1 miles away on top of the mountain. I guess I don't have line of site because it comes up in the Yellow zone at '2Edge'. The channels of interest to me are 9, 25, 23, 32, 30. It would seem I could have success with a simple UHF directional.

I have tried a large All Band UHF-VHF-FM antenna that I am pointing at 7 degrees true north. It looks exactly like the one in this link, second from the left on bottom row.

I still get nothing from the transmitter 9.1 miles away.

Please advise.
