Sometimes it is possible to combine two UHF antennas with a splitter in reverse as a combiner. This usually doesn't work because when the same signals from each antenna reach the combining point, they will interfere with each other if they are not in phase. If you think it might work, try it.

If I wanted to go the two antenna route how could this be done? That way I wouldn't have to use the A/B switch.

The two antenna route I suggested
would require an A/B switch, because it is the least expensive. There are other ways to do it that are more expensive:
1. Have the separate KMYS antenna connected to a digital tuner that is connected to an old analog TV.
2, Have the KMYS antenna connected to a separate digital TV that you would use to watch the games.
3. Connect the main antenna to the TV antenna input, and connect the KMYS antenna to a tuner that connects to an aux input of the TV. Use the TV input switch to change to the other antenna.
4. Buy a Tin Lee custom channel 32 AC7 filter (over $100) to combine the KMYS signal with the signals from the main antenna so that there would be only one downlead instead of two. Adjacent channel 31 might be a problem, but I think the Tin Lee engineer could handle that since you probably don't need 31. See attachment 2.

If you are willing to trust me or ADTech with your exact address or exact coordinates by PM, we could look at the aerial view of your location for more clues.
There might be some strong FM signals that will interfere with your TV reception, but my estimate might be off because I used your zip code. See attachment 1.
