The chances of reliable reception from Detroit are quite low. It appears that your are about 100 miles from those transmitters. You may see the signals occasionally, but only when atmospheric conditions are just right, allowing for the signals to 'skip' off of layers of the atmosphere.

You can try an un-tuned antenna antenna combiner, but even two identical antennas will usually provide less gain and be prone to receiving more interference because the combined reception pattern is more broad than that of a single antenna.

Can you provide a list of the signals received with your existing antenna when aimed SW and then when aimed SE? Please identify the signals by the call sign and the real channel number (the virtual channel number is ambiguous and antennas don't care about anything other than the real channel frequency).
