It looks like your TVFool Report is missing some data (namely CBS KMTV and Fox KPTM). Rabbit ears says the major networks (all but Fox) can all be received from Omaha at around 330 deg:

CBS KMTV on Real 45 (virtual 3.1)
NBC WOWT 22 (6.1)
KETV 20 (7.1)
PBS KYNE 17 (26.1)

FOX KPTM 42 (43.1) is at 252-deg (repacking to Ch 26 in 2019).

These are all UHF and all fairly close and all fairly strong. I recommend a DB4e or equivalent 4-bay aimed at 290-deg or so. Get it as high as reasonably possible to avoid the trees. Start simple with short (50-ft), new RG-6 coax and one TV. Add complexity later.

More-complete advice may be obtained by specifying the precise stations you are after (with call letters) in a "must have", "nice to have", and "could live without" format.
