Hey Sau818,
Hope you get your issues/problems resolved and can get a ton of stations.
I'm in between Milwaukee and Chicago and the antenna I got is a multi-directional UHF.
Most stations, from what I can tell, our UHF. Other then a few with the main one being CBS/WBBM (Chicago), which is a hi-V (Hi-VHF) signal so you will need a VHF antenna.
I don't know how much you have invested already. But if I were you, I'd go through Antennas Direct. That's who I went through, as well as their stuff from them through Amazon. Buying Direct I was able to get a little off here and there.
If you don't have a pre-amplifier/amplifier I suggest you get one. Just remember, just like anything else, no matter what set-up you have, you split it between 2 TV's, the signal weakens. Add more TV's, it weakens even more. I've also read, heard and been told, if you have too long of RG-6 cable coming from the antenna, generally 50ft. or more, that too weakens your signal.
And I'm not sure if anything I've done/did or will do in the future will help you or not. But feel free to follow my threads as even though mine is up, I've got some questions, issues/problems and concerns of my own.
Lastly, I will say this. even though you're close to the broadcast towers, tall buildings, trees and other stuff, because the FCC allows it, can, does and will interfere with your signal. And I don't know if you've tried other sources for what channels you can get and what not, but I did 3 different ones. However, not being tech savvy ( I know enough to get me into trouble and know enough to fix struggle through some things). But I used three different channel finders.
The one offered here at TVFool (although I downloaded google earth and tried to use the stuff for my area like you did above, but like I said, I'm not tech savvy and couldn't get it to work).
But besides here, I used these two channel locators...

If you've only used the one channel locator, try these other two and get a good comparison. On one, and I forget which, you can click the call letters and it'll show a line from where you are to where the tower is.
As for a real compass to one on your phone, I used both and both are susceptible to metal and magnetic interference and can go all screwy. This is the one I used on my hone and confirmed/compared with a real compass. Both linked below for your convenience.
The manual one I borrowed from a friend who's son is in the Boy Scouts and it's what he used for that. It's like the one linked below and it's plastic...

Believe it or not, for me anyhow, it worked pretty darn good. But then I'm in a somewhat rural area. Although at times I did have some magnetic interference. And again, as I said, I used the app one and a manual one and compared the results. Both worked fine for me. And neither worked fine when I got them close to the antenna. I had to stand away from it and eyeball it. First try to check it out before I actually installed it, I got 81 digital channels and one analog. Which if you follow my thread/s, you'll see is one issue I now have. :/
Good luck.
