The San Diego market often requires a 'two-antenna' solution. In this case an RCA ANT-751 may work well enough. Alternately, consider the Antennas Direct Clear Stream 5. It was designed with H-VHF in mind but proved to have decent UHF performance.

I would opt for the two antenna option, an Antenna Direct DB4e, Antennacraft Y5713 and a UHF/VHF combiner. Face the UHF antenna at 140° then fine tune the aim from there. Point the H-VHF antenna at 205° as the starting aim point. I would not try to mount both on a satellite J-pole, it's not tall enough to allow for adequate separation, 3' minimum.

If the well is dry and you don't see rain on the horizon, you'll need to dig the hole deeper. (If the antenna can't get the job done, an amp won't fix it.)
