The analog signal from CBUT on CH-2 has been shut down. If you're seeing their digital signal of real channel 43, there is no current or known future plan for stations to operate on real channels 2 through 6. So, a somewhat smaller antenna covering real channels 7 and higher would put less stress on the mast and rotator.

I'm thinking the Winegard HD7968P paired with an Antennas Direct CPA-19 preamp which can tolerate the strong signals from Mt. Constitution on Orcas Island.

I would also investigate the possible benefit of mounting higher.
