OTA Antenna Replacement

hey folks, looking to replace my roof mounted Winegard 7698p - any suggestions would be appreciated, cheers. Separate UHF and VHF antennas are also an option.

Why do you want to replace it?

Is it still aimed at a tree?

You might want to consider the Televes DAT BOSS MIX LR.
A whole lot sturdier, built in preamp and less expensive.
Covers UHF and Hi VHF. Check it out at LOWES.com

new antenna

A couple of the elements broke off otherwise it's ok - losing signal strength on some channels - and yes, still pointed at the pin oak.
Also, I figure I don't need VHF-LO.
