Let me see if I understand your advice clearly;

Try cheating the aim more northward to see if you can find a spot that makes everything happy. While I'd like to see it happen, but I'm not optimistic. The "classic" solution is to use a separate UHF antenna aimed directly at the ION station combined with combo aimed southeast via a UHF 15 Jointenna. Unfortunately, those products are becoming increasingly hard to get a hold of. The only seller I know of is Warren Electronics.
So should I try aiming my existing C4 towards Position # 3 as marked on the attached sketch drawing ?
Also you mentioned "separate UHF antenna", thats why I got the C2 & CM 4220MHD , so that I can try one of these to point it towards ION separately ?
Are these antenna not the correct UHF Antennas for this purpose ?

If you want to experiment, pick up a generic matching transformer, and connect to only 1/2 of the C4 (remove the combiner (carefully!!! first) and split the difference between the main cluster of UHF stations and that ION station. You may find this will correct your reception of the ION station and the rest of the UHF stations but at the expense of your VHF station (no free lunch here). That can be addressed separately.
Can I use C2 antenna rather I dissect my C4 for this setup ?
Can you elaborate on "split the difference between the main cluster of UHF stations and that ION station." ?

I truly appreciate all your help and guidance
