Your situation is similar to that of most folks in the San Diego market. A fairly simple two antenna system is going to give you a much better shot at reliable reception than any single antenna.

If you were starting from scratch, I'd suggest an Antennas Direct 42XG + Antennacraft Y5713 + Antennas Direct UHF/VHF antenna combiner.

In this case, you can substitute the existing ANT-751 for the Y5713 which should be pointed toward real CH-8 & CH-10, about 217° compass. The 42XG would point at about 158°. The 42XG would connect to the UHF input port of the antenna combiner, the ANT751 would connect to the VHF port.

The goal is to obtain a high quality signal from two separate directions at the same time, something a single antenna can't do very well.
