Help for South of Nanaimo BC Please

Hi all, my farm is apparently in a "dip" behind low hills and when I use the Google Earth map I get lots of purple and blue...

I have been wrestling with which antenna set up to get but I am in such a weak area I am not sure it will work. Ironically if I was a mile in almost any direction I would be doing great...

This is what the sig analysis site gives me for my corodinates:

I have a small OTA antenna in my camper and when it is about 15 feet off the ground and behind my house I get the channels that are transmitting from roughly 120 true.

The question is what antenna set up should I use to get the channels at around 070 (T)? Or is it even possible?

I already have an old TV antenna on a mast with a rotator attached to my farm house but it must be at least 30 years old and the wiring has all the insulation cracked off so it is just a spider web of copper. Coincidentally the antenna is frozen at a heading of 120 true.

Basically I will reuse the heavy duty mast and replace the rigging attached to it if I can get the extra channels.

Any suggestions at all are appreciated.

Thanks Dave
