I will have to ponder on it some more, I have until April before it becomes an issue.
What Jake has suggested is sort of what I was thinking of, only a home made version. The only problem with a AD DB8e is the 2 panels of bow ties are mounted on the same mast. I need them to be about 16 feet apart to get around the trees.
I have another DB4 made up already, (I kind of like making them). I will work on adding a reflector to it and get a quote on a tuned combiner. I understand that they are not cheap or quick to get.
I'm not really interested in real channel 3 as I already get 2 sets of PBS stations. And I will probably add a VHF to get channel 11 better if it becomes an issue later, for now it's fine.
Another thought, the 2nd antenna would be at the west end of the house and I could drop it below the roof line and still have a reasonably clear shot at the 228T direction. Would putting it in the RF shadow behind the house, (and the house nest door), help block interfering reception from the other 2 directions? Just thinking out loud.
