Fox is VHF-hi at 13, but I've heard some UHF only antennas can pick up a bit of the VHF-Hi, although I don't have practical experience in that regard. Not sure about 9 & 11 which go farther down in the VHF-Hi spectrum (although those are at 175 degrees vs Fox at 240, so not sure if one antenna can get them all plus the UHF).

I'm looking for a similar solution (I'm in NE Seattle). I get pretty good reception with an old UHF/VHF standard antenna, but it's too directional to work with all stations without a rotor (I'd rather avoid a rotor).

I wonder if this would work for you: two antennas, UHF pointed to about 180 (or closer to 160 if you care about channel 33, and are able to get them all), plus a VHF model pointed about 210 (hoping to get 9,11,13), then join by UHF/VHF joiner. That is a lot of work though, and probably requires roof mounting to have space.

Sorry, I don't know about the cabling question. Probably would work just fine. I've heard you should keep cable signals (if you're getting cable) and OTA signals separated on different physical cables. Can anyone confirm or refute this?
