Yes you can Test the ANT-5006 and ANT-5011 with a combiner.

However the 2 antennas when connected together will have out of phase antenna cross talk that will most likely make reception worse with no way to adjust them to make reception better.

Also the power supply and amplifier situation of the 2 antennas will most likely cause problems.

The following information is Important.

As always , trees and tree leaves , plants and plant leaves , have a Negative Effect on Broadcast Tv Reception and so do buildings and other obstructions including your apartment building.

Some and not all Negative Effects are.

The Best Practice for Reliable Reception is to install a antenna at a location that has the least amount to no amount of obstructions of any type or kind in the directions of reception.

Yes I took a compass to try and aim at 117 and when I do I am facing my wall of my bedroom and behind that is the escarpment if I was on the roof I can play alittle more and maybe get the signal if I really found a good spot but as far as on my balcony no its not going to work

besides Toronto and the US where else has more then 1 channel in my area that I can catch I heard london but that was ear say

Yes is Ok to Test reception out on your daughters East balcony.

If splitting the signal to 2 Tv's then use a Holland Electronics , HFS-2D , 2 way splitter.
