Antennas Direct Element or Clearstream 2MAX
|
The Element is quite directional, it has plenty of reflectors (it's an LPDA).
For true bi-directional reception, usually a vertical panel-style antenna is needed. For an out-of-the-box solution, either the C2MAX or C4MAX would be recommended with a bias for the quad loop design. You could also use a C2V or C4V, either without the reflector grids installed. The single VHF dipole would be somewhat of a concern for your VHF channels, one from each market.
Your most cost effective option would be a modified DB4e with the VHF1 retrofit kit. Modify the DB4e to remove the wire grids by drilling out the rivets that attach the grids to the rear spine. Attach the VHF1 to the mast using the supplied zip ties.
Note that the 7694 1) was never redesigned after the 2009 digital conversion so it's UHF section is tuned for reception up to channel 69 and 2) it has a much steeper F/B ration than does your 751R and would be less likely to pick up off the "back" side of the antenna.
