You may need to get a VHF antenna too because the CS-4 is not the optimal antenna for real channels 13 and below, which are on the VHF side. You may get enough signal thru for the high VHF channels, but the lower ones will struggle. But the good thing is that you can get that and a UVSJ and the two can work together easily. If you are using the existing sat mount, by all means, put it up the CS-4 and see how it works for both groups by aiming directly at each, rescanning for channels, then measuring the channel strength for each. Then aim to the middle ground and repeat and compare. Middle ground might be defined as being in the 120 degree range or so, as those stations south-east of you will be the challenge. And as for 44, can you get it when you aim right at it? I'm betting not. In my experience, the best approach is to keep it as simple as possible and build out the system with what you need, as you determine that you have the need.
