KARE 11 and KMSP 9? For those two, I would buy an Antennacraft Y5713 or Y10713, and mount it on the same mast with my choice of UHF antenna. http://www.antennacraft.net/Antennas/AntennasVHF.html The 5' Y5713 would probably be fine, by my preference would be to go big with the Y10713.

I would ignore the low power repeater stations from St. James (208 magnetic) and focus on the stations from Minneapolis at 58-60 magnetic. I'd mount an Antennas Direct DB4e https://www.antennasdirect.com/store...v-antenna.html on the same mast as the Y10713 and combine the two antennas into a single wire using a UVSJ http://www.solidsignal.com/pview.asp?p=uvsj That should bring in all the majors from Minneapolis.

You could substitute a mast-mounted preamp for the UVSJ, something like a RCA TVPRAMPR1 http://www.amazon.com/RCA-TVPRAMP1R-...D9Y/ref=sr_1_1 - possibly not needed, but will help to overcome the splitter losses if that's an issue. Try it with one TV directly connected first.

hth!
