The new reports you've posted suggest that raising the existing antenna may help your situation.

If I was in your situation, and starting with no antenna... I would use an Antennas Direct DB8E facing 147° and an Antennacraft Y5713 pointed at 180°. I'd also mount an RCA TVPRAMP1R on the mast. This preamplifier has separate inputs for a UHF antenna and a VHF antenna so the combining network would be included in the preamp, allowing for a single down-lead.
