What are you using as a combiner?

I am only posting now to see if they’re is a better solution for my uhf channels ( my vhf pointed northeast works great)
What VHF antenna are you using and what VHF channels does it get?

The problem i have with my uhf is some stations get spotty, jittery reception with wind, and my guess is because the uhf antenna i have is too directional
That is a symptom of trees in the signal path.

I get great reception all the time from:
Wvit, wfsb, and wcct.

I get spotty reception (especially from wind) from”
Wtic, and wedh

So, looking at my report, would you say a non directional uhf antenna to be better than a directional?

If so, i am looking to replace the uhf antenna i have now.
I don't know, you haven't told us what UHF antenna you are using. The C2VJ and the C2MAX I suggested above aren't too directional because they have a wide beamwidth.

Are you using a preamp?

What ABC channel do you get?

I gave you my advice in post #3.
My advice is free, but has no guarantee.
Take it or leave it; it doesn't matter to me.

It's your antenna, your money, and your choice.
