The economical approach would be, place the UVSJ on the UHF mast, leaving you with a very short run of coax from the UHF antenna to the UVSJ. Run coax from the VHF antenna to the UVSJ. Place the mast-head portion of the preamp system just below the UVSJ.

This approach favors the UHF signals which will suffer more attenuation per foot of coax than the VHF signals.

The premium solution would be to use two preamps, one for each antenna.
