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.
I'm already using a 10' mast with my current antenna. Will using a 15' mast with the DB8E and Y5713 and amp help enough to bother with or just stick with the 10' mast? I'm trying to avoid using guy wires.
