Thank you for the feedback!

I would love to elevate higher and use a dual setup. Unfortunately the other mounting alternatives are not an option for a few variety of reasons.

That being said, utilizing the mounting setup i have, I could maybe get away with separate VHF & UHF Yagi's with the VHF being closer to 21/22feet elevation and the UHF at the top. I could perhaps even gang 2 UHF Yagi's side by side given their smaller width. The question would be what would work best? Otherwise, I would need a recommendation on the best combination antenna given my 2edge conditions.

Coax run from the antenna down to the ground block is about 25-30 feet.
I have 2 feeds into the house. The first run is about 15 feet into a 2 way splitter for the downstairs (2 TV's). The second runs about 25-30 feet to the 2nd floor into a 2 way splitter for upstairs (2 TV's). Previously, Cable Co just split the feed outside. As I kept internet service, I will have to get an additional feed inside at least to the downstairs. (I have wireless Roku box into home theater setup, but i find that a LAN connection works better).

Just for kicks, I reran the plots to see what elevation starts to improve from the 2edge, and came up with a minimum of 75ft when their are more 1edge. Not sure how the NM(DB) and Signal Pwr (DB) will affect my reception results, suffice it to say I will never get much above 25ft.
