Problem with 1 channel on combined antenna's

TV Fool report: http://www.tvfool.com/?option=com_wr...90389c6f5ecc01

I have 2 antenna's in an attic. One is a Antenna's Direct DB8E antenna pointed west toward Baltimore. And the other is a Antenna's Direct Clearstream 4MAX pointing north/north east toward Philadelphia. The antenna's are about 10-12 feet apart.

I am combining these antenna's with this: https://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=2512
which then goes to a winegard lna-200 preamp, then on a 100ft coax to 1 tv.

When both antenna's are connected to the combiner WTXF (Fox) real channel 42, completely loses signal. It's gone. All other channels from Baltimore and Philly are ok.
After much tinkering, I found that if I leave the DB8E (Baltimore antenna) off the combiner, Fox returns.

(WTXF) Just 4MAX on combiner: Signal Strength is 70 with a SNR of 21-22
(WTXF) Both antenna's on combiner: Signal Strength and SNR = 0

What if anything can I do to get WTXF Fox with both antenna's on the combiner?

Thanks for any help.
