The translator W50CI-D carries Ion from WBNA, so RF8 from the south may not be needed.
In my experience, close VHF stations want to be received even with less than optimal antenna placement, so a directional antenna pointed NW may still receive RF8 from the south. (I receive RF8 from 350 degrees with an Y5-7-13 pointed at 217 degrees, the signal is not the highest strength, but the quality is 75 to 80%).
