You have two problems in your existing set-up.

1. The antenna for 3 and 8 is aimed at 210, but the stations are located at 191 and 193 degrees.

2. The antenna for channel 13 is also picking up 7 and 8, but with multipath. The multipath from the 13 antenna gets added to the good signals on 7 & 8 from the main antenna which causes the dropouts.

Is your antenna really capable of VHF reception? If so, aim it at 192, not 210. If not, get a real VHF antenna.

Next get a channel 13 Jointenna. Unfortunately, Amazon is out of them. Warren Electronics claims to have them. http://www.warrenelectronics.com/Ant...Jointennas.htm

The channel 13 Jointenna will prevent multipath on channels 7&8 from getting into the feed to your TV set.
