I would have no problem buying any antenna that would actually work!
It is entirely possible that there is no antenna that will work at your location for CBS, even on a 100 ft tower.

If you are willing to try more tests, I can suggest some things to try, but it will cost you time and money with no guarantee of better reception.

If you want to upgrade your system, I suggest the Winegard HD7698P, and a Channel Master 7777 preamp. The 7777 is a high gain preamp only for fringe areas that is easily overloaded. I did an FMFOOL report for your estimated location that doesn't show any strong FM signals that might cause a problem with the reception of CBS that the FM filter in the 7777 can't handle. See attachment. You can do your own FM report here:

I still haven't seen any photos that show what it looks like in that direction (41 degrees magnetic). If you have a picture I can try to help you add it.
