If reliable reception is the goal, buying another omnidirectional antenna would be throwing good money away.
The simplest solution in this case is a Winegard HD7698P, NTE U-106 rotator, NTE TB-105 Thrust Bearing and an Antennas Direct PA-18 preamp. I'm not a fan of rotators, but the conditions in this case call for high gain and directivity which forces us to face reality.
My first post in this thread is similar in function though with some performance tweaks and the rotator would not affect UHF reception.
@bincitybandit, if you can not or will not consider a rotator, there are other ways to go about this. Though a bit more complex, still within the skill set of the DIY'r. It's up to you of course.
