3 Local Digital Tv stations/channels will most likely be received also.

_________
The ABC Tv station WJLA-Tv channel 07 , ABC will not be received. The signal is too weak.
The strong signal strength , local W07DN-D channel 07 PBS will be received.
__________
The Local ABC Tv station WHSV , ABC will most likely not be received. The problem is your location , terrain blockage = hills and mountains
______________
Terrain blockage of All Tv Stations except 1 - W07DN-D channel 07 PBS.
Is the number 1 issue/problem at your location.
I reverse engineered to a location close to your location and entered in higher antenna heights to see if higher antenna heights would help reception.
Not enough to go any higher then 25 feet.
Reception does improve , a little , by having the antenna lower then 25 feet.
About 10 to 15 feet above ground is Ok.
However installing the antenna at about 10 to 15 feet might be to low , because if there are trees blocking reception at the lower antenna height.
___________________________________________
As always, trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a negative effect on reception , multi-path/reflections , absorbing , blocking , reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your own roof and house.
The best practice is to install the antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception including your own roof and house.
At your location that is , south east , north east , south-south west.
____________________________________________
As a Test of reception of WHSV , ABC , aim the HD7698P antenna at about 192 degree magnetic compass direction , and scan for channels.
_________________________________________
The Tv's Must Scan for the OTA=Over The Air , Digital Broadcast Tv stations/channels , often named the 'Air Channels' or 'Antenna Channels' in the Tv Setup Menu because the Tv transmissions travel through the Air from the transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.
Some Digital Tv's will Automatic channel scan for cable tv channels.
DO NOT channel scan for cable tv channels.
Go into the Tv Setup Menu and select 'Air Channels ~ 'Antenna Channels'.
Scan for channels.
