Thanks for the new photos.

Maybe I should get a VHF one and use a switch depending on the channel?

The 7697 covers VHF real channels 7-13 and UHF real channels 14-51 for 319 degrees magnetic.
You don't need a separate VHF antenna unless you want it aimed at 143 magnetic for real channels 8 CBS and 10 ABC.

The TV is in the room right below the antenna with maybe 40 feet of cable and no splitters etc. I wanted to put it on the other end of the house which would be better, but that would increase the cable length by a lot and that concerned me.

When you mount the preamp near the antenna, it makes the signals stronger
before the coax loss; you might be OK. You need to make some tests.
