Ok, good point. I'll bring power from the other direction, which technically is a much shorter run and keep them separate, in case something goes "wrong", I would not want that kind of power.

What is your proposed height with a new mast etc? That extra height might be worth it. As the 91XG and the VHF under it are really small antennas overall, I would be pushing the height for testing.

"Advanced" Grounding

I'm well on the other side of Jeff City. My question would be do you have the antenna dialed in specifically on 22?

My concern is the extra noise of the 7777 might somewhat negate the "gains". ...

Ok, I think I looked at that one before, but none of the current offerings look like the same setup. Not surprising though. Should be overkill for a couple tv antennas, but able to take some wind.

Hi- VHF (Ch 7-13) does not cover Lo-VHF (Ch. 2-6)

The 91XG is tiny compared to the 14' Winegard. Very impressive for its size.

Given the strength of everything else above it, I would work my aim based on the KIRO and yes the elevation may very well help your situation.
