The C5 was designed to be a high VHF antenna (channels 7-13) and just happens to be useful for short-to-medium range UHF. It would not be considered appropriate for UHF duties in your situation which does call for a UHF antenna that is far more directional and with higher gain.
For high VHF, it's intended to compete head to head with the high-VHF antennas that are about half the length of the AC Y10713. It compensates for some of that by being ultra efficient and using a high-efficiency balun. It would likely do as well as could be expected for your area for your VHF requirements.
