Given the extreme distance between you and the transmitting antennas, some realistic expectations need to be set. Even with the following system you may not achieve fully reliable reception.

The largest antennas are needed if your are going to have a chance at reliable reception. You'll also need to be able to mount clear of the tree(s).

I would try an Antennas Direct DB8e equipped with their PA-18 preamplifier. It's goal would be real CH-17 & 19.

An Antennacraft Y10713 also equipped with a PA-18 preamplifier would be my choice for attempting reception of real CH-8 & 10.

Presuming you found acceptable reception with each antenna, you would then be able to combine the outputs of the separately amplified down-leads using a standard UHF/VHF signal combiner (UVSJ).
