You're up against the laws of physics. Frequency response for the hi-vhf band simply requires larger elements & longer antennas.

That said, you could try a Y5-7-13

No it's not. Coax length only matters when you are trying to properly phase 2 identical antennas.

And yes, that is how you hook them up with a UVSJ.

You can certainly try with just the DB4e. It has *some* hi-vhf capabilities. AD doesn't advertise that, because they didn't design it for hi-vhf, but it does.
