Thanks for the info on the splitters and combiners.

The CC-7870 isolation combiner is particularly welcome.

I'm gonna try a DB8E. I'll point the edges of its two 4-bays 90 degrees apart as you say (205 & 295 degrees.) If necessary I'll replace the existing combiner on that with the CC-7870. I'm getting a $20 Y5-7-13 VHF antenna and a diplexer to couple the VHF in.

If that does not get me enough signal I will turn the DB8E flat and point it at CoSprngs, then get a CM4228HD to point at Denver. It may then be more problematic on what to do with VHF, since the CM4228HD has some VHF gain.

I'll stick with the attic if I can. Not much metal in my attic to cause multipath.

I'll post how it goes...

Thanks.
