I finally revisited this project and just tried the Antennas Direct ClearStream 2V on a 15 feet mast run to the HomeWorx 150 and as predicted altitude is my friend. I was really hoping to avoid guy wires, but the results are so much better than anything else I've tried that I'll eventually proceed. Reception results included watchable channels of EVERYTHING I listed (exception: real channel 13, which is located in Bremerton (Gold Mountain) quite a bit to the west of the other transmitters... but 13 comes in on RF25 which I get). Best of all: my Samsung TV pulls all those channels in directly, so no need for an intermediate box. Previously I suspected the tuner was inferior, but I think it just requires a high quality signal before displaying anything at all.
Thanks again to everyone on this forum, including but not limited to GroundUrMast and ADTech who always provide prompt helpful discussion!
