Given the missing element, and the poor performance on real CH-11, I'd be inclined toward replacing the antenna with one that is matched to the current channel assignments in use. A new install here in the Puget Sound area calls for both UHF and High-VHF capability.

For an installation that has to account for nearby trees, I'd err on the large side. I'd use the combination of an Antennas Direct DB8e + Antennacraft Y10713 + Antennas Direct EU385CF UHF/VHF Antenna Combiner. I'd also start with new coax outdoors.
