The CM-4228 is a UHF only design. That does not stop it from receiving some VHF signal... but it's not good at it. You could find yourself needing to add a separate high-VHF antenna to get CH-9 & 11.

The C2-V-CJM has both UHF and high-VHF by design. Yes, I think the C2-V-CJM fit's your situation quite a bit better than the CM-4228. Another economical option would be an RCA ANT-751.

Aim to the SE, toward Capitol Hill, you'll still get plenty of signal from the Queen Anne towers. The signal power in the air is more than enough to drive 100' of RG-6 and a 2-way splitter. Again, be sure the antenna is connected to the input port of the splitter and, the splitter has only the output ports needed for the number of sets connected. If you have an 8-way splitter in the distribution panel but you only run two sets, you're loosing a significant amount of signal power for no reason.
