Yes! You need lot more metal in the air and more height to reliably receive the stations shown on the signal report in your first post on this thread. If you are aiming for the stations in the arc from 99 to 108 degrees magnetic, then you need a fair amount of gain for real channel 13 (VHF-Hi) and very high gain for the others (UHF). Even then you may encounter problems with the stations showing negative NM in your report. Some of the others on the board can make better suggestions than me, but if I were in your shoes I would probably try an 8 or 12 element VHF-Hi antenna and a long yagi or 8-bay bowtie for UHF.
Here are a few links to check out:

There are not many choices out there for VHF-Hi antennas, but there are other brands of the UHF antennas you could check out that may have better build quality. You could also look at a combination VHF-Hi/UHF antenna but I think you would be best served with the highest possible gain on UHF that you can get.
