Once you have that you can try some experiments with an antenna with more gain, another filter, and a preamp for WCHS.

The antenna would be a UHF antenna with more gain like the 91XG
The UVSJ blocks FM and VHF-High but passes UHF
The NF-471 Notch Filter blocks UHF channels 24-29 to make 26 much weaker to keep the preamp from being overloaded by 26

I believe I can get WOWK reliably with the VU-75XR if I optimize its position for that channel. That means I need a UHF only antenna. You mentioned the 91XG. Would a 4 or 8 bay bowtie work also? If I need a preamp for UHF but not VHF, where is the best place to join them or should I amplify both? I do need to block FM from the VHF antenna. I don't think the NF-471 is needed on UHF and could hurt CH 23.
When I was looking around, I came across this
In-line amplifier. Could this be used as a preamp if the antenna is much better than what I have?
