Thank you for the rabbitears.info signal report. That looks like a slightly different location than your TVFool report.

I have two questions. I have another XG91. (Actually the boom was modified to be a bit shorter.) I was planning to stack them and play around with that. Due to the constraints of the tower where I want to install the second antenna the best spot would be about a 18" lower and 18" to one side. So offset diagonally. Though booms are not the same length I'll try to have the driven elements lined up. Any tips?
That doesn't sound like an optimum arrangement; you will just have to try it to see if there is any improvement.

Second. For WVNY. It is on VHF channel 7. Do you think that making a custom cut antenna optimized for 177mhz would be worth it? I have found the required specs at https://www.changpuak.ch/electronics...enna_DL6WU.php
WVNY has a very difficult signal path to your location:



and your location is well out of the WVNY coverage area:



You can try making a custom Yagi for channel 7 or buy a Stellar Labs 30-2476 VHF-High Yagi when it again becomes available:
