CFPL-DT CTV2 10 Crystal clear
CJMT-DT OMNI2 20 Not English
CITS-DT YesTV 14 When antenna on floor
CICO-DT TVO 18 Crystal clear
CKCO-TV CTV 42 Very fuzzy
OMNI1 69 Not English

I am very happy with this. Do you think I could pull more in by getting a UVSJ? I will look around for one, and will also try to attach the antenna outside the house for comparison.
It sounds like you are having fun doing antenna experiments.

I have no idea; you must try it yourself to find out.
