Sorry, there is no magic antenna that will see through trees.

If a tree loses its leaves in the fall, reception behind it will improve dramatically. Many people get a TV for Christmas, and erect an antenna for it in January, and then wonder why it quit working in May. It’s the trees.

scroll down to Trees and UHF

Can you aim between them or below them from any location on your property?

WTVF is not a UHF channel, it is a VHF-Low channel on real channel 5, which requires a BIG antenna. It is the real channel number, not the virtual channel number, that determines the proper antenna.

VHF-Low, real channels 2-6
VHF-High, real channels, 7-13
UHF, real channels 14-51

If you take the splitter out, it will make your signals a little stronger, but it might not make any difference.
