I will try to raise the antenna, i can probably go up a few feet(2-3) with the current mounting solution.

If I were starting fresh, I'd find a bow-tie array without a reflecting screen, since your stations are in two groups roughly 180 degrees from each other. There's a home-brew solution that works well with high-VHF/UHF (NOT the design you find in youtube videos.)

1) wow, i wasn't aware that omnidirectional wasn't perfect...I have not tried this at all...that will be my first attempt.
2)It's a chimney mount, so i only have 4 places I can try to mount it(each corner), but I will give this a shot also.
second...noone is concerned about the cable reuse? I hope not, just wanting to make sure!
thanx guys! I knew i could get some helpful advice here.
