In retrospect, either the C2, C2MAX or the DB2e would gave been better choices for your particular situation with regards to the ill-located ION station. The C4MAX has too narrow or a beamwidth for your particular needs. The other antennas have a much wider beamwidth and might be able to pick up the towers located about 110° apart. At that angle, the UHF gain is nominally unity, give or take just a bit.
FWIW, this is not an uncommon issue with ION stations. The owner of their predecessor network was notoriously frugal when it came to acquiring tower space so he usually went with whatever was cheapest without regard to local antenna users as his focus was achieving "must carry" status on cable and satellite systems.
