I'd try the 751 antenna outside at a very low height - perhaps 4' or so, and clear toward the south. At this low height you should net about 6 db extra antenna gain.
Here's how I figured that;
I looked at the angle up to the nearest mountain at 168 degrees that is line of sight. It was 3 degrees up angle. The terrain in front of the antenna slopes downward at about -16 degrees. On channel 8, over flat ground, at 3.8' height, the uptilt calculates to 19 degrees. With the downtilt of your terrain, the main lobe of the antenna will be elevated at 3 degrees uptilt.
