The 8200 is a poor choice for the Lake area as it has all those humongous elements at the back that will do nothing except provide a roost for the birds. There are no low-VHF stations anywhere in Missouri. trying to combine two of them aimed in opposite directions is probably a project left undone.
Aimed at Fordland you ought to be able to pick up KOLR. I see no probability of reliably picking up KOMU or KRCG from Columbia/Jeff City even if aimed at in that direction.
There are large areas of the Lake that are literally "black holes" for reception due to the terrain. Locations where a decent path in both directions are relatively rare. You're probably fortunate to be in one of them!
If you can identify the specific stations in each direction you want, it would be easier to advise you.
