Re the cabling, I would certainly try the target setup with a new, factory-made cable direct to the TV first, before I tried any of the cable TV cabling. If the cable is RG-6 with F connectors, it should work, but devices like splitters and amplifiers for cable frequencies probably won't work with OTA TV. And it's always good practice to test components one at a time, to minimize the number of variables.
I would also try a couple of reports at higher altitudes, like 50' and 100', to see what happens to the 181 degree UHF signals.
A -2 or -3 NM is weak. Whith a high-gain directional antenna you might get those weak UHF stations, but any other interference like trees or multipath could prevent it. Do you have clear line-of-sight to the horizon at 181 degrees with the 25' height?
