Reception advise and antenna systems design
You have near by channels at 336 and 110 degrees magnetic. In both directions there are hills seriously robbing you of signal and setting up un-desirable multi-path signals. These are mostly UHF, however there are some translators in the High VHF (7-13) and in this area there could be some low VHF (2-6) translators come on line in the future. So the equipment I recommend is UHF/low VHF/high VHF with a narrow beamwidth to survive the multipath.
Mount a Winegard 8200u antenna and a AP8700 pre-amplifier above your roof as high as practical. To receive the channels from both 336 and 110 degrees use a Channel Master 9215 rotor, or use two 8200u antennas/amplifier combinations.
You can not combind these antennas into one coax. They must be seperate. To change location reception you need to use an A/B switch.
IMO the rotor option is the best way to go, as these antennas are very long and wide.
