I think it is possible. You have a very weak CH-25 signal coming from BOTH antennas.

Is this an example of UVSJ's "not always doing what they're supposed to" ?
It's an example of trying to make a UVSJ do what it was never designed to do.

and why I've seen several people on this forum recommend using separate coax runs and an A/B switch for UHF and VHF instead of using a UVSJ combiner?
That can work well if the antennas are aimed at the transmitters.

If you want reliable reception of WNNE, the antenna must be aimed at WNNE.
