The DB 8 claims to pull in UHF and VHF from multiple directions up to 70 miles away. Is this what I need to get both the 330 degree signals and the 68 degree signals?
Uh, no, that's not what the antenna does. See http://www.antennasdirect.com/store/...v-Antenna.html

Based on my experience, you will likely need to pick one market to focus on and, if you want the second, then a rotor or a second antenna with an A-B switch will be needed.

Either of those antennas would likely work for the Chicago stations. The DB8 *should* pick up WBBM based on the numbers in your plot (I've used it on VHF 12 in much weaker situations). Put it on a rotor and you should be okay for South Bend.

Use a standard two-output splitter to share the antenna signal with both sets.
