No OTA reception in Snoqualmie, WA. Will ganged antennas help?

My TV Fool profile (below) indicates I should have no problem receiving KCTS-DT and KCPQ-DT using a roof mounted Winegard YA-1713 (high band VHF) antenna.

I get nothing. I can get several independent channels (33.x, 42.1, 46.x) but these I'm not interested in.

My test bed includes antenna, 40' coax antenna lead and a 2005 plasma TV. I'm tried this with a Channel Master Titan 2 amp and still get nothing.

Below is a pic from my roof looking west.

I figure TV Fool is either a bit optimistic or the tuner on my TV is lacking. Since no other homes in the neighborhood have a roof mounted antenna I suspect the former over the latter.

Would a second, ganged high band VHF antenna up the db enough to receive these channels? KCPQ-DT broadcasts Seahawks games and we'd like to watch those that are available.

Any help appreciated.
