You could keep the ant751 for the VHF channels.

Except that I'm able to receive much weaker signals. Also, when the antenna was mounted on the deck, I had far more blocking the aimed direction and virtually nothing blocking the WUNI signal and could get WBPX. Would have thought the interference would be far greater in that location.
This is why I'm so puzzled. Nothing makes logical sense.
WUNI was always LOS and always came in very strong (even being over 90 degrees off the alignment) And yet, WBPX came in weak, but usable with a NM of 30.2 and 2 edge reception. Now that the NM is 39.5, I can't get it at all. It is still listed at 2 edge, but with over 30' more height, it just seems odd I can't get it.
What is really puzzling is that I get (although it is marginal) WWDP at roughly -2.3 NM. Although that is on another band.
I'm hesitant to put up a larger antenna - we have strong winds and I don't like the idea of a large wind load.
