It's not that simple. You have VHF stations arriving from 279° and 73°. Your UHF stations arrive from 66° to 94°.

Therefore you need two VHF antennas and a broad beam UHF antenna with good F/B ratio or a 7-69 antenna aimed at 82° plus a VHF only aimed at 279°. I can't predict which antenna combination would work best with your terrain. I can predict that trying to combine them into a single feed will be hard and/or expensive. That's why the suggestion to use the dual inputs of your HD Homerun, one for each of two antennas aimed in different directions.
