What is the combiner you used?
What about splitters, amps, cable length?

I have my "south array" that points to Chicago with a 91XG 5 feet above the 30-2476 57' AGL. They are combined by an RCA PREAMP1. It is between the two antennas on both arrays.
The RG 6 is about 75' to the combiner. Alternatively, an additional 6 feet to back of the TV when hooked directly to the TV. I also have a network that distributes it through the house which adds a lot of legs to the system, which is mainly why I used the preamp I chose. Plus, that preamp is a combiner, kills two birds with one stone.
South Pointed Array:
My North pointing array is about 30' AGL and has an HDB91X above a 30-2476. They are also combined by an RCA PREAMP1. The RG-6 is about 45' to the indoor combiner, alternatively, an additional 6 feet to back of the TV when hooked directly to the TV. Sometimes I unhook the network and experiment with my TV in my man cave.
That TV has 2 RF inputs.
North pointing array:
Both antennas are aimed correctly in the following pic. They both have rotators, which I found to be indispensable for aiming.
For size & height comparison:
