Thanks, Tigerbangs and rickbb.
I don't know much about antennas, but I believe the existing antenna has both VHF and UHF elements. They are oriented such that they form either a horizontal or vertical "V" that catches signals. That is, the open end of the "V" faces the tower azimuth.
The coax appears old and flimsy.
I think I agree that all new equipment would reduce the likelihood of whether the antenna works. I'd consider building an antenna if I wasn't under a time crunch. Perhaps I'll do this once I learn more and have time to devote to the effort.
My remaining concern is trees. Terrain is not as onerous as the really tall trees surrounding my home...
