Need help adding 2nd Antenna

I am currently running a Winegard HD9095P antenna aimed at about 235 degrees with a Winegard HDP-269 preamp mounted at about 10' above the house (picture is a 5' mast, I have doubled the height since taken), approximately 30-35 off ground.

Here is my TV Fool Report http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...d243dea874aeef

I currently have issues with reception on all FOX channels. 8.1, 46.1 are weak if I even get them. I would like to fix this asap with football season approaching.

My antenna is pointed toward Charlotte, and I pick up most of the channels in that direction. To give a an idea on the degree range I am picking up, 2.1, 12.1, 58.1

I want to add a second antenna, pointing the opposite direction to pick up the channels toward the Raleigh area that I am missing as there are plenty more availble.

I have a clear shot at the sky. I have a 10' mast ( picture is a 5' mast, I have doubled the height since taken) and could space the antennas a few feet apart.

How do I accomplish this giving me a gain and not loss? If I use a signal combiner, and replace my preamp with a dual preamp, will this accomplish my goal?

I like http://www.solidsignal.com/, item numbers would be helpful. Thank you.
