When KONG , KOMO , KZJO and etc. have less signal strength then KSTW and KCTS. And you will receive KONG , KOMO , KZJO and other Tv stations.

Quite simple... If a UVSJ is used to join a high-VHF and a UHF antenna, any VHF response from the UHF antenna would be suppressed. And clearly, the alternate suggestion was specific to reception of KCPQ, and made before the OP stated the priority of KCTS-PBS.
A U/V combo antenna aimed at Queen Anne and Capitol Hills should be expected to provide 9, 11 and the UHF stations. But, I doubt that any lone 8-bay will provide reliable reception of high-VHF 9 or 11 in this situation. The CM4228 modeled by HDTVPrimer would be the best bet of all the 8-bays... but I have my doubts and it's not clear that the CM4228HD currently on the market has will offer the gain published by HDTVPrimer. Here in the Puget Sound area, Douglas Fir and other evergreen trees provide 40' to 80' of foliage attenuation year-round... the 2-edge path in this case is full of that type of vegetation, and is not factored into the TVFool report.
I would like to be surprised, proven wrong, but I understand that the OP would like to have some confidence that their next antenna purchase will provide reliable results.
