Does the antenna you have now have Any Type or Kind of amplifier , If so remove ALL parts and pieces of the amplifier.
There is no amplifier being used and each household has a separate balun connected to the antenna with no splitters being used. Balun to coax to my SiliconDust HomeRun Dual.

The signal strength of WLIW is , 29.6 NM (dB) , and that is not a weak signal.
Exactly, WLIW-DT, Channel 21 is not being received with the antenna aimed at 89 degrees magnetic compass it seems. Does this likely mean the antenna needs replacement?

If one were to add a second antenna that the purpose of the antenna is to receive WLIW , then install a Winegard HD9022P UHF antenna.

The second antenna can not be combined with the other antenna no matter if the other antenna is the antenna that is in place now or the HD7000R.

The HD9022P antenna will have a separate coax.

I was hoping to stick with one antenna seeing as the signals are very strong even when I'm aiming at 21. Would the HD7000R be a good replacement which I can aim towards 21 (89 degrees magnetic north) and still get the bulk of the very strong signals (310 degrees magnetic north)? No problem connecting three baluns to each household via separate runs of coax to it?

I could add a separate antenna for 21 but then I'd have to buy another HD HomeRun Dual as well.

Thank you for the other suggestions and links, going to link them all up.
