Our reports are closer now. The distances and azimuths match, but the NM numbers are different.

Looking at the Google map and tilting it, you seem to be in a valley surrounded by hills.

I might send you a PM to confirm your location, but as of now you will probably need to try a high gain VHF/UHF antenna like the Winegard HD7698P in different directions as high as you can get it, and a Channel Master 7777 preamp.

An alternative would be an MCM VHF yagi like the 30-2475 or 30-2476 aimed at a VHF channel like 7 or 12 and an Antennas Direct DB8e with both panels aimed at 21 or 15 to avoid using a rotator. The antennas would be combined with a UVSJ UHF/VHF combiner before the preamp.

It doesn't look very promising; you might have to do cable or satellite TV.

I think you are doing pretty good if the "V" dipole of the C4V is picking up WYMT.
