The DB-8 is not designed to be effective receiving VHF, real channels 2 through 13. Per HDTVPRIMER the DB-8 has 14 dBd net gain on real channel 23. (-8.2 NM + 13 dBd= +4.8 NM) That suggests that you could well be able to get marginal reception of channel 23.
The same source provides estimated VHF performance for the DB-8... all based on computer modeling.
We can make an informed recommendation if you post a TV Fool report.
