I purchased the three way splitter recommended. After installation I am getting the expected results. The main channels in the ~144 degree direction come in just fine. The VHF channels like 8.x are hit or miss and of course the 14.x channels don't come in at all. But this was discussed has the antenna I have is not well suited for VHF and I need a rotor to get the channels in the other direction.

Conclusion, I will go like this for the moment and try the other recommendation of removing the reflector screen before going the antenna upgrade route.

The reflector screen is the waffle like grid on the back of the antenna?

Thanks again for all of the help.
