Thanks for the photo; looks good.

Yes.

Is there a way to combine two antennas without db loss? Or a way to compensate? Looking at the numbers suggests to my newbie knowledge base that WRTV and WXIN could be lost if I tried to combine them.
WRTV and WXIN will not be lost if both panels of the DB8e are aimed at Indy.

If I pointed both sides of the bowtie towards Indy and tried to combine it with the C5 pointing towards Louisville am I going to run into problems with both antennas picking up signals from the opposite direction?
It depends upon how you combine them. If you use a UHF/VHF combiner, AKA UVSJ, it will keep the UHF bowtie signals from Indy separate from the VHF signals from the C5 from Louisville. But, you will not receive UHF signals from Louisville, unless they are strong enough to come from the rear of the DB8e with both of its panels aimed at Indy. A UVSJ is a very low loss device.

This will get you ABC from Louisville. Is that what you want?
