Tried without the distribution amp and lost many stations.
Re-connected the distribution amp.
I get every station available except WPGH 53.

Thank you for the update with your report of improved reception.
Your current TVFool report doesn't list WPGH because of database errors used to generate the report.
However, a report from rabbitears.info does list WPGH, and its list of channels should be more accurate. WPGH is listed as much weaker than your other channels.

Since I have now received my UVSJs, would there be any value in trying one of them in place of the Antenna Direct combiner?

It should work about the same as the Antennas Direct UVSJ. If you are curious, maybe you should make a temporary test.

I think I'm about as optimized as I can for my location unless there are other suggestions.

Yes, I agree.
WPGH is moving to channel 20 during Repack Phase 4, 6/22/2019 to 8/2/2019

They might be running at reduced power because of antenna work.
