I agree with Dave's assessment. The GE 24679 is simply not up to the task. The HD7698P is right at the top of the list of excellent deep fringe antennas.

I have no objection to two or more antennas on my roof so if I was in your situation, I would be inclined to 'pull out all the stops'. I would lean toward separate UHF and VHF antennas. An Antennas Direct XG-91 and an Antennacraft Y10713. (Winegard offers a similar antenna, the YA1713, but it's equipped with an integral balun which can limit stacking / combining options which may be of benefit.)
