Here is my reports with a 30 foot and 40 foot mast.
30 feet off roof:

From the reports, extending my mast will help a lot. I will probably have to go up at least 15 feet to get over the trees to the north before they leave this coming spring anyway.
I have not grounded the antenna yet as I have not permanently mounted it.
When the HD8200U is pointed 195° I receive 15, 49, 28, 19, 44, and 23. When it is pointed 21° I receive 15, 49, 17, 12, and 20. I have already resigned myself to the fact that I may not be able to receive 8 or 10, but there are channels I can get from both directions that I want to get.
So, back to my original question, :-) if I get something like a Winegard HD7698P and mount it facing 195° and mount the HD8200U facing 21° (or 38° if KOMU will not come in), how far apart do they need to be vertically as to not interfere with each other? Also, how would I connect them together? Should I connect them somehow on the mast, or should I run seperate coax and connect them lower? Is there a totally different and better option I am missing?
Thanks for your time. I really appreciate all of your help.
