Your TVFool report says antenna height 60 ft; do you have a 60ft tower?

The best current VHF-High antenna is the Stellar Labs 30-2476.

I'd say it was a toss-up.

You can combine a UHF antenna and a VHF antenna with a UVSJ, which is a low loss device.

The 7698 is a popular combo antenna for both UHF and VHF-High. With the 7698 you must follow the instructions with care when you unfold the VHF elements for max gain. The 7698 has a unusual method of combining the UHF and VHF sections that I don't like, but it rarely is a problem. There are forks on the circuit board that connect to the wires from each section with pressure contact. The circuit board is in the CB-8269 housing that can be replaced.
