Do you already have a Y5713? Since the demise of AntennaCraft they are becoming rather difficult to find. Maybe someone here can suggest an alternative.
My guess is that since you are line of sight and only 4 miles from channel 7 and they are running about 27 kW, you should have a very good chance of receiving it while your antenna is pointed at channel 9. I would start with the antenna aimed at channel 9 and see what kind of signals you get and then rotate in small increments towards channel 7 if you need to.
