With a basic set of 'rabbit ears' you would likely see just a few stations. Your TV Fool report appears to be based on the default antenna height of 10 feet AGL. I would like to see if there is a significant change when using your roof height plus mast (5' or 10'). I can't recommend an amplified indoor antenna in your situation, the AX-912 is a questionable example of such.
The current report indicates you will need to roof mount to achieve reliable reception year round.
A fairly compact panel antenna would offer a full line-up of the major networks. Here are several competing brands and their model numbers, Antennacraft U8000, Antennas Direct DB-8, Channel Master CM-4228HD and Winegard HD-8800. All of these options will offer similar performance and are designed to receive real channels 14 through 69.
Any of these antennas facing south (about 200° to 205° per your compass) would offer reception of stations as weak as WSBK, real CH 39 in that direction. The strong local UHF signal of WPXG would likely be seen even though the antenna aim would not be ideal.
There are a few stations using VHF channels (CH 3, 4, 9 & 11), they could be received reliably with a secondary antenna. If you're interseted, I could offer one or more suggestions depending on whether you want/need some or all.
