Being 10 miles or less from all of the channels, I feel like I should get excellent reception on all channels and I don't.
Yes, you would think so, but real channel 8 is in a different direction and you have a tree problem, as you mentioned in your previous thread.

You need a separate antenna aimed at 135 degrees magnetic for WGTV PBS on real channel 8.

If you still have the RCA ANT751, try aiming it at 8 to see how it does. If it works OK for 8, there might be a way to combine it. You can't use a simple UVSJ because you need NBC real channel 10 from the main antenna. And you can't use a splitter in reverse as a combiner.

If you don't still have the 751 or it doesn.t pick up 8, MCM makes a VHF-High yagi that might; the 30-2475 or 2476.
