I'm trying to get WLUC which is UHF 35 and is broadcast from a tower that's VERY near VHF 13 WNMU which I currently get.
I have this antenna
http://www.menards.com/main/electric...002-c-6295.htm
Mounted about 16 feet AGL, stuck in the old dish network mount on the roof, just for testing. I also added an old 2 piece channel master amplifier that mounts on the antenna, and has a power supply for it located in the basement that powers it through the coax. The amp helped the quality of the signal on 13 significantly.
Right now I can ONLY get 5 and 13, no matter how I rotate it (by hand right now). I can't pick up the canadian stations (nor do I really need to)
The problem is packers games come in on WLUC UHF 35, which I cannot even get a blip of a signal on. Since the towers for 13 and 35 are less than a mile apart, I figured I can use the signal strength on 13 to get pointed perfectly but I still can't pick it up. The tvfool report says I should even be getting 13 with my antenna height, so I used 75 feet for the report below.
I plan on going as high as I can with a tower, and using a bigger, but similar style antenna I was given. I'm considering buying a more "modern" amp to help, but I'm not sure which would be the best. I realize that the best amp isn't going to be able to pull in a signal that isn't there.
I'm also wondering if there are any good tricks to getting deep fringe UHF, or am I going to be listening on the radio?

Thanks for any suggestions you have!
edit: This is the antenna I'm going to replace the menards unit with:
